Non tutti sanno che a Sperlonga molto tempo fa c’era una fabbrica di sapone.
Gli sperlongani la chiamavano “saponera”, nome che oggi è ricordato nella toponomastica della via adiacente alle rovine di quell’edificio (via della Saponera).
Siamo certi che la fabbrica di sapone funzionasse alla fine del 1400.
Era costituita da un fabbricato rettangolare al piano terreno che sovrastava le sorgenti della “Fontana” ed è stato poi abitato da famiglie sperlongane fin quando è stato abbattuto in occasione della costruzione della strada del porto, attorno agli anni ’60.
I pochi tratti di muro che ancora si scorgono a sinistra di tale strada, nel suo inizio, sono perciò, i resti della “Saponera” il primo stabilimento industriale di Sperlonga!
