Travel from Rome along the "Highway of the Sun" and after passing
Mt.Vesuvius volcano which destroyed
Pompeii in 79 a.d. ascend a scenic road
that crosses the mighty jagged Lattari Mountains and little towns specialized
in the production buffaloes-milk mozzarella and arrive in Ravello.An incomparable
and celebrated eagle-nest town frequently visited by Europe's 19th century nobility
during the Grand Tour and artists like Richard Wagner who composed his "Garden
of Klingsor".
After having visited the Moorished-styled garden of Villa Rufolo dating from
the 11th century. The Villa , also mentioned by Boccaccio in his "Decamerone",
is an enchanted oasis of prodigious plants and flowers laid out on inebriating
terraces overlooking the awesome cliffs high above Amalfi. Visit also Villa
Cimbron, built over ruins of a roman villa, to admire the superb coastline and
to try spot Gore Vidal's retreat clinging to the craggy lime cliffs where myriad
terraces of lemon groves degrade steeply to sea level. Descend a spectacular
road to Amalfi, oldest of the four medieval sea-republics of Italy, and
where Flavio Gioia invented the navigation compass and where the first maritime
laws were established. The town became wealthy through the close commercial
ties with the orient and Sicily. Visit the cathedral of St. Andrew that holds
the remains of the Apostle; its oriental façade enclose a lombard-romanique
interior and bronze doors fused in Constantinople in 1067. Henry Longfellow
re-evocated in his poetry dedicated to Amalfi the incredible beauty of the surroundings
and John Ruskin many water-colours capturing views of the city.

Continue driving
along the savage beauty of the coast bathed by brilliant sunlight and the amazing
vertical bluffs of vivacious colours and deep fjords of scintillating blue waters
forming the coast road made up of 1000 bends with villages of cluster homes
clinging to the mountains and between the sky and sea. See the distant island
of Capri and arrive in Positano, a fishermen town of flights of steps and narrow
arched passageways, enlivened by summer casual fashions much appreciated by the
cosmopolitan clientele. Positano is a vertical village with countless terraced
lemon, fruit and flowered gardens and cubic domed pastel houses beneficially
exposed to the sea breeze degrading down to the beach protected by Saracen watch
tower, remnants of past dramatic incursions of Saracens and Turks. After
time to browse and enjoy the exotic atmosphere continue and reach the panorama
points of Sorrento to admire its perched situation on high cliffs of tufa
stone with wonderful views of the Bay of Naples and Mt.Vesuvius and enjoying
the Sorrentine Coast with its unforgettable vistas reach the "Highway
of the Sun" and return to Rome.
