Culture from Praiano is linked to sea world and to the strong devotion that inhabitants had for their protector saints. An element which it is more probable to find here than in other places of Costiera Amalfitana are voetive aedicules.

These are small temples usually located at the street’s corners or in courtyards which accommodated images of the most venerated Saints or of the Virgin, which were venerated with lights and flowers.

Exactly the presence of these candles lead to believe that voetive aedicules had a social role a part from a religious one: they were useful to lighten streets and especially crossroads in a period during which public lightening did not exist.
