AFTER THE ERUPTION OF VESUVIUS, THE 1794 WOMEN OF TORRE DEL GRECO ALMOST IMPOSED TO THEIR MEN WORKING CORAL. THE TORRESI UNTIL THEN WERE THE MOST “WILY” AND  EXPERIENCED FISHERMEN OF CORAL, THEN RESOLD AT THE MARKET OF LIVORNO. FEW HAD A REAL INTEREST FOR CORAL WORKING.

WITH THE ESCAPE OF FERDINAND IV OF BOURBON IN SICILY AND THE SETTLEMENT OF JOACCHINO MURAT IN NAPLES, THERE WAS THE TURNING POINT.

MURAT LOVES CORAL AND SO ISSUES A WHOLE SERIES OF LAWS TO STIMULATE THE FISHING AND WORKING CORAL IN TORRE DEL GRECO AND ENSURE THAT SHOULD OVERCOME AND SUPPLANT THE TRAPANESE SCHOOL, SINCE IN TRAPANI THERE ARE THE HATED BORBONI.

MURAT CALLS FROM FRANCE THE MASTER BARTHOLOMEW MARTIN AND NEW TOOLS FOR WORKING CORAL. IN A FEW YEARS THE CORAL TORRESE SETS ALL OVER EUROPE ARRIVING IN FAR EAST COUNTRIES .SINCE THEN TORRE DEL GRECO IS THE WORLD CAPITAL OF CORAL AND CAMMEI.
