Tonnara di Vendicari

The Tonnara di Vendicari, a legacy of ancient Rome, presents itself as an engineering masterpiece and symbol of maritime wisdom. The Romans, aware of the riches of tuna in these waters, developed the tuna fishery with refined architecture, creating a system of traps that guided the tuna.The artisanal nets, the result of Roman mastery, exploit the geometry of the nets to lead the tuna towards the fishing chambers. This methodical construction not only demonstrates engineering expertise, but also serves as a tool to concentrate tuna in a controlled position, making fishing easier.We will discover the details of this extraordinary tuna processing. From the narratives of ancient fishermen who not only built a structure, but created a sophisticated catching system.
