Pictorial

The Amalfi Coast is the land where the beauty of the landscape, molded by volcanoes, is wed to the glories of an illustrious past, and where the intense blue of the Tyrrhenian contrasts with the greenery and the bare rocks of the coast. Complemented by splendid photographs, the narrative in this book leads the reader on wondrous itinerary through Amalfi, Ravello, Positano, Naples, Capri, Sorrento and Pompeli, where we happen upon hidden gems. Along with the great monuments, we discover, for example, the towns and villages of inland areas that, though off the beaten track, are rich in history, artistic treasures, stunning natural scenery, and the flavors and colors of ancient popular traditions. This new title in the "Italian Regions" series contains breathtaking photography of this dramatic coastline. It features Naples, Capri, Pompeii and more.
