On
the sides of the via Campana (Campana road), as it is still called to this day,
there was a series of funeral monuments that were mixed up with shops, country
houses and inns. The first descriptions of the locality go back to the 17th
century, when the tombs were used by farmers as shelters, stables or houses,
this suggested to Goethe the idea that, in this part of the land, life started
with death just as the seismic activity determined the creation and the
destruction of the area.
