5. Agro-food industry It is one of the pillars of the economy.The province mainly produces vegetables and fruit. The most common cultivations are: vegetables (tomatoes, cabbages, peas, beans), fruit-trees (apples, peaches , apricots , walnuts, cherries, nuts), citrus fruits (oranges, lemons), olive-trees and vine. Wine production has increased and retail trade has a central role in the services sector .There are over 4,000 enterprises in the agro-industrial sector, specialized in the production of preserved tomatoes and vegetables, pasta, milk products, soft drinks, liquors and wines, cereals and coffee roasting.

Fashion is also a traditional sector for production in the Province of Naples with about 7,600 enterprises of clothing, leather and shoes . Export trade has recently fallen , because of the fall in exports of the car sector, as well as the textile and clothing sectors .

7. The choice of Acerra as the site for an incinerator has been a decision that started a lot of controversies among people who are afraid of its emissions. Yet , the problem of waste treatment must be solved because many unauthorized dumps with toxic waste have been found in the area of Acerra .The soil , there, is very fertile due to its volcanic origins, but products cultivated and grown in the area are not easily marketed because consumers think all the soil is poisoned by toxic waste . There are 2,000 farms in the area ; experts say that only 6 square kilometres out of 54 square kilometres of the total area are poisoned .Yet, products are not sold and the economy is going down.

12. The city, among the most ancient ones in Campania, was inhabited since prehistoric times, for the presence of rich vegetation and fauna and numerous water courses. It was probably founded by the Ausini and then named Akeru by the Oscans (Acerrae is the latin name). Later on it became part of the Etruscan Dodecapoli in Campania. HISTORY THE BEGINNINGS

13. In 332 B.C. Acerra was the first of the Roman provinces to get the “civitas sine suffragio” ,that is the Roman citizenship without right of voting. It was faithful to Rome during the second Punic War and in 216 B.C. it was besieged by Hannibal who partially destroyed it. 332 - 216 B.C. HISTORY

14. In 211 B.C. Acerra was rebuilt. During the social war it was besieged again by Papio Mutilo, but it was defended by the consul Lucio Giulio Caesar. It became Municipium and in 22 B.C., under the Emperor Augustus it became a colony. 221 - 22 B.C. HISTORY

15. AND... In 826 the Lombards built a castle on the territory of Acerra, later destroyed by Bono, duke of Naples. In 881 it was sacked by the Saracens and later became a Norman possession. As part of the kingdom of Naples it was the feud of the Aquino, the Origlia, the Del Balzo Orsini families and, from 1496 to 1812, of De Cardenas. Till 1927 it was part of the province of Terra di lavoro. HISTORY

16. Of Etrurian origin, the name Acerra comes from Acerrae, as testified by Plinio. According to some scholars it is related to the sacred word Acerrae, that means “ incense boat”; according to others it is related to the Greek name Acherrai or to the name of a river (Acqueron, in Greek language), because the site was a marshland and subject to floods.
