Mecca for Italian genealogy with an amazing staff. I was there in June 2019, pre-COVID and had a memorable experience. Not to be missed if you are a genealogy and local history fan.

La struttura, ubicata a circa 300 metri dalle Grotte di Pertosa-Auletta, propone un itinerario di conoscenza dedicato alla terra, e più precisamente a ciò che avviene in quei tre metri, fondamentali per la vita sul nostro pianeta, che dalla superficie si portano in basso. Dalla terra delle formiche, alla fauna che popola il sottosuolo, al mondo delle radici, ai diversi tipi di terreno, al mistero della creazione dell’humus, tra viaggi virtuali, installazioni di reperti e materiali naturali, fino alle collezioni vegetali. Un viaggio alla scoperta dei processi di formazione dei suoli, dei loro rapporti con gli ecosistemi, le comunità viventi ed i paesaggi, della interazione di lunga durata con le società umane.

Ubicato nel comune di Pertosa, il Museo Speleo-archeologico è luogo della cultura MIBACT e museo di interesse regionale (delibera n. 34 del 28/07/2010). Si trova nelle vicinanze delle Grotte di Pertosa-Auletta e racconta la storia del giacimento archeologico ritrovato nelle Grotte, che testimonia le ripetute frequentazioni umane dell'ambiente sotterraneo dall'età paleolitica all'epoca medievale. In questo Museo viene riprodotto a grandezza naturale il duplice impianto palafitticolo protostorico scoperto nelle Grotte, il primo (e tutt'ora l’unico in Europa) ritrovato in ambiente sotterraneo.

I know, I know. A paper museum? But this spot is truly fascinating! The paper mill has been operating since the 13th century and the tour gives you a great overview of the techniques used to make paper from that time onward- from the manual cotton presses to the water-powered pulp mills to the electric mills of more modern times. What's more, you can actually see demonstrations of these massive devices as they would have been used centuries ago! Our tour guide switched seamlessly between English and Italian and we had no problems following the demonstrations. We even got a free paper sample at the end, and the gift shop has some lovely items, including pressed flowers, notebooks and personalized wax seals. The surrounding neighbourhood is quite picturesque, as well, and it's worth a jog up the road from the marina.
