Amalfi Coast

The Amalfi Coast, or Costiera Amalfitana in Italian, is a stretch of coastline on the southern side of the Sorrentine Peninsula of Italy (Province of Salerno), extending from Positano in the west to Vietri sul Mare in the east.

Renowned for its rugged terrain, scenic beauty, picturesque towns and diversity, the Amalfi Coast is listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.
The area is featured in the work "Positano" (1953) by American writer John Steinbeck, who, thanks to his work, contributed to make it a well-known tourist destination nowadays.

Many are the places to see, from Ravello, a popular tourist destination that was an important town of the Maritime Republic of Amalfi, an important trading power in the Mediterranean between 839 and around 1200, to Positano, cited before, and Amalfi itself, the ancient capital of The Maritime Republic of Amalfi.
