Praiano
Praiano is a town and ''comune'' of the province of Salerno in the Campania region of southwest Italy. It is situated on the Amalfi Coast (''Costiera Amalfitana''), a prime tourist location for the region and Italy alike, between the towns of Amalfi and Positano.
In 1997, the Amalfi Coast, including Praiano's "Vettica Maggiore" ''frazione'' was inscribed as UNESCO World Heritage Site.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/830 )〕 As of December 1, 2009, the town's population constitutes 2,069 inhabitants.
==History==
The town's name derives from the ''praia'', or beach, from the Latin word ''pelagium'', meaning "open sea."〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.praiano.it/english/history.htm )〕 During the 10th-11th centuries, Praiano was once the summer residence of the doges of the Duchy of Amalfi.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.amalfiscoast.com/inglese/town/praiano.htm )〕
During the Angevin period, a fortified tower, the Assiola, was constructed to defend the town. Praiano had an important local silk industry, however, it disappeared during the 19th century. With the discovery of corals in the vicinity around the 1800s, Praiano's economy was revitalized, mainly focusing on the fishing and tourism industries ever since.
