The Amalfi Coast

Before going on vacation I would like to  show you a place to dream about.  There are good reasons to claim that the Amalfi Coast is an unforgettable spot in the world. For example, the breathtaking views:



The rich history:


The lemon trees and the flower roofs:



The amazing interior design of the Convento di Amalfi:


The traditional Pasticceria Andrea Pansa, an Amalfi institution since 1830, with  its delicious pastries and chocolate:

  
Last but not least: Naples and Pompeii are nearby. Naples is a vibrant urban setting and Pompeii's ruins are the most impressive proof of the power of  nature

Question for the fashionistas: did you know that Salvatore Ferragamo studied shoemaking in Naples?

The american writer Gore Vidal considered the Villa Cimbrone Gardens  one of the most beautiful places on earth. In the same village, Greta Garbo enjoyed her love affair with the conductor Arturo Toscanini. 

With all its beauty, no wonder that the region is an inspiration to artists. And lovers.
