THE
AMALFI COAST
ENGLISH * THE
AMALFI COAST
LEAVING CAPRI BEHIND WE POINT THE AEROPLANE TOWARDS
THE PUNTA CAMPANELLA, WHICH IS THE FURTHERMOST POINT OF THE SORRENTINE PENINSULA AND WHICH ALSO MARKS THE BEGINNING OF THE BAY OF SALERNO, AND HEAD IN THE DIRECTION OF YET ANOTHER OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL AND EVOCATIVE LANDSCAPES OF THE WORLD.
THE AMALFI COASTLINE WHICH RISES ABOVE THE SEA, FULL OF DECLIVITIES AND SUDDEN DROPS, IS QUITE INDESCRIBABLE. THE CHARMING SMALL VILLAGE WE FIRST ENCOUNTER BEBEATH US IS SANT'AGATA SUI DUE GOLFI, SO CALLED BECAUSE OF ITS POSITION ON THE RIDGE OF THE MOUNTAIN WHICH GIVES IT A VIEW OF THE BAY OF NAPLES ON ONE SIDE AND OF THE BAY OF SALERNO ON THE OTHER.
ADMINISTRATIVELY SPEAKING, IT IS PART OF SORRENTO, BUT WE PREFERRED TO SEE IT FROM THE SOUTH SIDE. FACING THOSE TWO ROCKS RISING OUT OF THE SEA TWO LITTLE ISLETS CALLED "LI GALLI", JUST ON THE OPPOSITE THERE IS THE BEACH OF NERANO, A DELIGHTFUL FISHING VILLAGE. NOW WE CAN SEE MONTE FAITO BEFORE US, RISING UP LIKE THE BULWARK OF THE SORRENTINE PENINSULA. THE SUMMIT IS REACHED FROM THE OTHER SIDE, BUT THE SLOPE WE CAN SEE IS COVERED WITH FORESTS OF ALDER, BEECH AND WALNUT TREES, AND LOWER DOWN, WITH VINEYARDS AND CITRUS ORCHARDS. NESTLING AT ITS FOOT, LIKE A NATIVITY CRECHE OF WHITE HOUSES, WE CAN SEE POSITANO.
