Ravello

Close to Salerno is a coast looking out of sea,called by the locals the coast of Amalfi, covered with little towns, gardens and fountains,and men rich and profitable in the art of trade and other.

Amongst the towns there is one called Ravello, 350 meters above sea level, where the light effects and magical architecture create a vision of rare intensity. Its name is immortalized in Boccaccio's Decameron.

In the square there is Duomo, dedicated to San Pantaleone. To the right of The Cathedral a square tower marks the entrance to Villa Rufolo. Immersed in a verdant park of exotic and mediterranean flora.

Each summer,in the gardensof the villa,the concerts of the Ravello Festival are held. Wagner's inspiration for the Klingsor Garden, in his opera Parsifal, Came from the gardens of Villa Rufolo.

Villa Cimbrione

Villa Cimbrione, was originally, a simple hut. It has hosted many celebrated personalities, from Winston Churchill to Greta Garbo.

The belvedere is a terrace that gives on to infinity,and has no equal in the world.
