About the Work

The Amalfi Coast is a quintessential representation of the Italian dream. Nestled among lemon trees and colorful bougainvillea, thirteen towns form the Amalfi Coast. The villages are famous for their vertical landscape and can only be accessed via the Strada Statale 163, a narrow, winding road perched on the cliffs that offers unparalleled views despite its unsettling nature. People from all over the world come to this enchanting strip to enjoy its charming pebble beaches, picturesque hiking trails, perfect climate, and legendary establishments, including famous hotels and restaurants. Landmarks such as the Cathedral in Amalfi and Villa Rufolo in Ravello reflect the culture and spirit of bygone eras, and many famous people, including Jacqueline Kennedy, John Steinbeck, and Gore Vidal, have enjoyed these landmarks. With its signature limoncello, locally grown and enjoyed, magnificent villas, and breathtaking vistas, the Amalfi Coast is in a league of its own.
