Saracen Alleys and the Hidden Forum Tour
The whistle of the mistral that slips into the alleys, the sound of the sea in the background, the entrance portals in piperno or green stone, the oranges and lemons that peep out beyond the walls of the houses, the pavement, the churches... ...in short, the Saracen alleys, a place where it is worth “getting lost” and capturing those details of Mediterranean architecture elsewhere completely disappeared.Tactical needs of countries where the assaults of pirates and various conquerors were commonplace. Somehow it was necessary to defend oneself from the “Saracen” fury, the inhabitants of Forio had decided to make life difficult for those who landed with not exactly peaceful intent: sighting and escape, this is the tactic. The Forian towers served the first purpose, the labyrinths of narrow streets and the very high walls of these palaces-castles, served the second. After all this effort, a stop to taste the products made by expert Forian hands.
