The Augustea Group is owned and controlled by the Cafiero, a family originally from Meta di Sorrento, a small town of ship-owners and seafarers situated in the Bay of Naples, whose shipping interests date back to the 17th century.Historically, Sorrento has always been an important shipping centre: since early Greek and Roman times adventurous people, from this area, navigated the Mediterranean and even beyond. Over the centuries, the Sorrento shipping community thus became an economic pillar of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies and, later, of the Italian maritime industry.
