With Favole di Luce, Gaeta takes you around the world!

The sixth edition of Favole di Luce takes us on a journey through different countries around the world. We start our tour from Piazza V. Capodanno where we find one of Italy’s most iconic monuments: the Tower of Pisa rising in the square above Via Indipendenza. Walking through the alley toward the center of Gaeta, we arrive at Piazza XIX Maggio which for the occasion hosts a corner of China with the Zu Dragon, this year’s new attraction that, with the luminous arches forming its body, promises to be an excellent backdrop for wonderful photos.

After the Zu Dragon you’ll find yourself at a crossroads: turn toward Serapo or toward old Gaeta? Wherever you go, we bet you’ll be amazed by what you see. Heading toward Serapo and continuing along Corso Italia, you’ll be captivated by an incredible sight! Yes indeed, in the square that hosts Gaeta’s famous glassworks, the Eiffel Tower stands. From China to France in the snap of a finger! The Parisian monument par excellence lights up in different colors in a fascinating play of light.

But now it’s time to discover the tribute reserved for Egypt. In old Gaeta, at Molo Santa Maria, the “Mysteries of Ancient Egypt” take center stage. Next to the Ferris wheel, in fact, you’ll find two majestic sphinxes and a pyramid which you can enter to fully appreciate its play of lights.

A stroll with Dante Alighieri through Gaeta’s light displays

Another unmissable attraction is the route dedicated to Dante Alighieri which begins at the Carlo III gate on which the opening of the Divine Comedy is displayed.

Continuing on, you can see the bastions of Lungomare Caboto on which the verses of Canto XXVI of the Inferno are projected, in which Gaeta is also mentioned. We arrive a little further on, at the church of San Biagio, where the Inferno ends with the final verse “And thence we came forth to see again the stars.”

But did you know you can meet Dante in person? On Saturdays, Sundays and holidays you can follow the Supreme Poet during a traveling theatrical tour to discover the artistic projections.

To enable our young people to form a family, we must respond to three of their requests: adequate welfare, a home and a secure job. In addition to the nursery school plan, which I have already talked about, young people benefit from measures for social infrastructure and social housing ”..

Young people under 36 can access the guarantee fund, including those who do not have a permanent employment contract and want to buy their first property. The State will guarantee for a maximum cap of € 250,000 on deeds stipulated to the 31 December 2022

Keeping household expenses under control, especially in a period like this, is essential to better manage your family economy and make ends meet at the end of the month. To carry out a correct management of home expenses, these few tricks are enough to make a difference by the end of the month.

Home expense management: focusing on to how you heat your house

Let’s start with warming-up. To keep the house warm it’s not necessary to turn on the heaters and get the temperature to tropical levels, but it’s better to keep a constant temperature between 18 ° and 20 ° avoiding heat loss. To do this, there are some easy tricks to use, let’s take a look.

If you leave the house in the morning and come back in the evening, you certainly cannot keep the heaters on while you are not at home. A system to control the heating is the Chronothermostat, a device that allows you to adjust the temperature in the house during the different times of the day or night. Unlike the thermostat, the Chronothermostat allows you to set two types of temperatures: comfort and reduction. When you are away from home it is best set to the “reduction” mode, in order to find a warm and comfortable environment, without unnecessary waste. Furthermore, the Chronothermostat can also be connected to portable devices such as a tablet or Smartphone so as to have control remotely.

If you have a fireplace in your home, consider insulating it when it is not in use. All you need is a thermal insulating panel that can be found on the market at an affordable price, or a chimney balloon to be inserted in the flue to prevent the heat from being dispersed outside. In regards to window shutters, be careful of the seal on the roller shutter boxes placed on the windows.

Another simple action, which may seem insignificant, is not to block the radiators with chairs or other furniture so as not to obstruct the heat emission. Also beware of drafts, try to limit them by placing self-adhesive seals on the doors and windows. With these small, but fundamental precautions, you can keep your home heating costs under control.

Lower your monthly home expenses by paying attention to the appliances you buy

One of the expenses that mostly affects the family budget is the electricity bill. Also in this case it is possible to limit waste by paying attention to appliances we normally underestimate.

Let’s start with the choice of appliances. If you need to buy them, remember that by opting for the energy efficiency class A, A ++ or A +++, you will spend a little more initially, but the expense will be sufficiently reduced over time with “cheaper” bills. Think that a class A refrigerator brings electricity saving of 24% on the electricity bill.

Now we come to a daily action that will bring down your household expenses: do not keep appliances on stand-by. We assume that when you go to sleep you let the television turn off by itself? You may not know that turning off the TV or computer will save you 16% on your bill.

Use family budget apps to organize expense management

Leave the classic way of noting expenses. You can now use specific apps to keep the family and domestic budget under control. Here are some popular expense management apps: Monefy, Expensify and iSpesa. These applications replace common notebooks and are certainly more practical and functional, as it is possible to synchronize budget planners with other devices to share the findings with the people who live with you. In addition, as soon as you make a purchase you can conveniently record your spending or record your bills and create monthly spending limits for your home budget management.


The profile of the south Pontine coast has always fascinated and won over actors and directors who have chosen it to escape from the chaotic city life. The placid basin overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea has been favoured, since the 1960s, by great personalities of Italian cinema, whom would stay there for a few months a year Dino Del Laurentis, Silvana Mangano and Raf Vallone, just to name a few, have chosen Gaeta and Sperlonga to buy their luxury homes overlooking the sea.

Raf Vallone’s villa in Sperlonga, valued at 4.2 million euro, has risen to the honours of the local news. A luxury villa of 480 square meters and 4 thousand meters of terraced garden, where the actor hosted friends and colleagues of the calibre of Brigitte Bardot and Marlene Dietrich.

Luxury properties for sale: the most popular areas

Not only Gaeta and Sperlonga are among the areas that lend themselves to welcoming luxury homes, there are also places surrounded by greenery, where the quiet of nature is the setting for luxury homes At the foot of the Aurunci mountains, in the countryside of the small village of Itri, there are prestigious villas where the rustic soul meets modernity and opulence, with additional structures such as outdoor swimming pools, or personal cellars, which increase the comfort and value of the property.

Even in a more central area you can find your own “happy place”, such as in the suggestive setting of Fontania, in Gaeta, where the smell of the sea intoxicates the air, just go out into the garden of your villa to experience its ambience. Here it is possible to find luxury villas for sale where the prestige of the structures that line the beach is added with a breathtaking view.

Buying a villa in this area means investing in a real estate jewel that will acquire more and more value over time.

How to deal with the sale of luxury properties without neglecting any aspects

When planning to sell luxury homes, a particular target of buyer must be taken into consideration. The buyer of prestigious properties, in fact, has a different profile than a standard buyer who aims for a more discreet home. Consequently, even the needs are different and, to satisfy them, specific strategies must be put into practice, starting with the sales negotiation. This part, in fact, is among the most demanding as bureaucratic and specific aspects also come into play to be handled in a conscientious way.

Not to mention the initial impact, this is fundamental for luxury homes for sale. The presentation of the property must be flawless. It is essential to take care of every detail, from the photo shoot to home staging.

Luxury homes for sale: confidentiality first

Usually the owners of prestigious homes choose discretion, taking a more personalised sales path. In this sense, our real estate agency in Gaeta specializes in luxury home sales negotiations. If you need to learn more about luxury homes for sale, and rely on an intermediary to manage the negotiation, do not hesitate to contact us.

For a few years now, the world of “interior design has fully embraced the”green cause, paying “particular attention to”eco-friendly furniture. From the design of the spaces to the choice of furniture, designers are increasingly supporting the philosophy of living and dressing the home in a sustainable way. It’s not just a passing trend, but a lifestyle that is also reflected in the domestic daily life of the people who live there.

What is Meant by Eco-Friendly Furniture?

Eco-friendly furniture is a design trend that supports the green choice of sustainable living. Preserving the environment by favouring natural, recyclable and long-lasting materials which eco-sustainable thinking revolves around.

The people who choose this option don’t just make it an ethical question. Its aesthetics are characterized by minimal and refined details that mimic the elements of nature, bringing the spirit back into balance and instilling serenity and calm.

Japan and Northern Europe, where ethic design reigns supreme

Models of ethics and style, Japan and Scandinavia have reinvented the rules of interior design by popularising the concepts of sustainability and making it easier to apply.

Japanese furniture: eco-furniture in a Japanese style

Japan draws on its ancient tradition by converting the concept of Zen as its organic key. And it is here that this key is displayed in the traditional tatami – the woven reed mat filled with pressed rice straw – and the futon – the rolled mattress made entirely of ecological materials – complete in a contemporary style, has become a very popular alternative to the classic bed base and spring mattress. La componente in lattice e in fibre naturali sposa in pieno la filosofia dell’impatto zero sulla natura. Inoltre queste tipologie di stuoie e materassi sono altamente indicate dal punto di vista igienico e, elemento non trascurabile, infondono all’ambiente domestico un’allure raffinata e ricercata.

Also for the living area, why not take advantage of the characteristics of a low Japanese wooden bed to create an original sofa with customized seats? A mood that has entered Western culture which, in addition to giving harmony, commits to the well being of the environment thanks to the presence of wood and the lack of toxic elements, increasing the quality of life in domestic spaces.

The Scandinavian mode of eco-sustainable furniture

Scandinavia also lends itself well as a model to follow in the field of ecological furnishings. The trendier, Northern European design is monopolizing the eco-furniture scene thanks to the essential nature of the elements that characterize it, and to the neutral shades of the furnishings and accessories that fully reflect the “green” philosophy The use of natural wood furniture mixed with raw metal details and textile elements in natural fibres. Lends the house a quiet charm that is full of impact.

Zero Waste Design and Upcycle Materials: eco-sustainable furniture that gives value to waste

In addition to the two examples of ethics already mentioned, if you are looking for another approach to ecological furniture, which fully respects the regulations of eco-sustainability, we recommend that you rely on companies that follow at least one of the three strands recognized by the European sustainability and recycling policies.

Zero Waste Design is a branch of “eco-design that creates furniture” items by drawing on waste materials to give life to innovative products.

Recovering broken objects that would end up in landfills is indeed the meaning of Upcycled Materials. Just a little taste and creativity is enough to assemble and reinvent the basic objects and the result will be an original and unique piece of furniture.

It’s easy to say eco-furniture, but how do you recognize it?

To prove that an eco-sustainable piece of furniture is truly eco-friendly, it must comply with FSC, PEFSC and UFAM certifications which guarantee that the wood used does not come from ancient forests, but come from green places that meet the standards of the Good Forest Management Authority.

Gaeta is not only a destination for numerous admirers who appreciate spending relaxing days in the evocative setting of the Gulf, but also for those who choose to study and work just a few steps from the sea, deciding to opt only for winter rental in Gaeta.

“Seasonal rental thus splits, responding to the demand of those looking for a house to rent in Gaeta for the” summer and those looking for it only for the winter period.

Higher School of Technology “G. Caboto Foundation”

The nautical sector has always been important in Gaeta, which is why those who want to pursue a successful career in the field can attend the Higher School of Technology “G. Caboto Foundation”. The school is located in Medieval Gaeta, “inside the Palace of Culture, immersed in a location where history and sacredness intertwine”.

The “building, in fact, is adjacent to the Sanctuary of SS. Annunziata, while in the palace where the” institute resides “was the barracks named after the Chief of Staff of the” post-unification Italian army, Enrico Cosenz. After World War II, this place played a fundamental role in welcoming Julian-Dalmatian refugees and evacuees from the historic center.

Nautical School of the Guardia Di Finanza for the Training of Sea Contingent Financiers

Old Gaeta also offers the perfect setting to host the Nautical School of the Guardia di Finanza for the training of sea contingent finance officer cadets, also specialized in the training of officers, superintendents, and financiers employed in the naval field.

The nautical school is spread across different locations of great historical value such as the Cavour barracks, headquarters of the Nautical School Command, and the Aragonese Castle which houses the Mazzini barracks, headquarters of the Sea Finance Officer Cadet Company.

Another location is situated in the lower part of the medieval borough of Gaeta. Here stands the Bausan barracks, where there is the command of the naval training station with the school ships and the specialization courses company.

Faculty of Nursing of La Sapienza University Located in Gaeta

For those who instead intend to pursue a career in the healthcare sector, in Gaeta it is possible to attend the Faculty of Nursing of “La Sapienza University of Rome”. The location is situated on Via Salita Cappuccini, in the former Capuchin Convent which over the years has changed various “uses, hosting schools and institutes. From the end of the” 19th century until 1960, it was the headquarters of the “Nautical Technical Institute, while in previous years it alternately housed the middle school, elementary school, and the” Professional Institute for Maritime Activities.

The convent suffered various damages during the sieges of the city and in 1866 lost its status as a convent. Now it is the headquarters of the nursing degree course of La Sapienza University.

Winter Season Rental in Gaeta: how to Choose the Right House
