The Amalfi area & Campania 

Ravello 

Ravello was founded in the 5th century as a shelter place against the barbarian invasions which marked the end of the Western Roman Empire. In 1086, at the request of the Italo-Norman count Roger Borsa, who wished to create a counterweight to the powerful Duchy of Amalfi, Pope Victor III made Ravello the seat of a diocese immediately subject to the Holy See, with territory split off from that of the archdiocese of Amalfi. Early on, the bishops of Ravello all came from patrician families of the city, showing the church’s municipalized character.

In the 12th century, Ravello had some 25,000 inhabitants, and it retains a number of palazzi of the mercantile nobility, the Rufolo, d’Aflitto, Confalone, and Della Marra.

Villa Cimbrone, with its breathtaking view overlooking the sea and unique in the world, and
Villa Rufolo, home of the concerts that the Ravello Festival organized throughout the summer, are the must-to-see of the town, together with the cathedral (XI century) and its museum.

Positano

Positano is a sophisticated resort town today and the jewel of southern Italy’s iconic Amalfi Coast. Steep slopes covered in pedestrian lanes and sweet-scented wisteria face out onto the Sirenuse Islands. The village abounds with smart boutiques selling lemon-themed ceramics and artisan leather sandals. Sample fresh seafood and earthy wines at the town’s countless romantic restaurants.

Amalfi

Amalfi is a town in a dramatic natural setting below steep cliffs on Italy’s southwest coast. Between the 9th and 11th centuries, it was the seat of a powerful maritime republic. The Arab-Norman Sant’Andrea cathedral at the heart of town, with its striped Byzantine facade, survives from this era. The Museo Arsenale Amalfi is a medieval shipyard-turned-exhibition space.

Campania

Naples, Pompeii, Paestum, Capri, and more all rich of history and culture. A consistently mild climate, lush nature framing breathtaking landscapes, unspoiled villages and fairy-tale coastlines: this is Campania, a region that sums up centuries of cultures in a jewel known for its unparalleled hospitality.
