The Amalfi Coast begins here, in this first village perched between the sea and the mountains. Forget the superlatives and let yourself be carried away by the beauty of the place, because it is without doubt one of the most spectacular sites in Italy. Just imagine the rock and the peaks struck by the sun, whose reverberation on the turquoise water seems almost unreal. And at the end of this ribbon of asphalt, as winding as it is narrow, Positano emerges with its white and pastel houses, suspended from the wall, like simple outgrowths of the stone, as a matter of course. However, it is necessary to imagine the treasures of imagination and adaptation necessary to develop here vineyards and orchards in terraces on the low slopes, up to the great pastures of the highlands. If it is often said that a straight line is the shortest way between two points, Positano says the opposite. In fact, everything is curved and tangled up in narrow streets and stairways, where restaurants and artists' studios follow one another. The only remaining verticality: the cliffs. More than a city, Positano looks like an architectural miracle. John Steinbeck wrote about it, "It's a dreamy place that doesn't seem real when you're there, and you feel a great nostalgia when you leave it. »
