Synopsis
The mere mention of the Amalfi Coast stimulates the senses and conjures up vivid images. The lemon-scented breeze, the popular Neapolitan tunes performed in restaurants, the savory Mediterranean dishes, the sweeping panoramas, the timeworn villages clinging to vertical cliffs, the terraced mountainsides brimming with grapevines, and the sun-drenched piazzas and secluded beaches. With this book, award-winning author and photographer, Chantal Kelly, pays homage to the essence of the Amalfi Coast. Complemented by splendid photographs, the narrative takes the reader through famous sites and hidden gems. Along with the famous towns of Sorrento, Positano, Ravello and Amalfi, we discover the lesser-known villages of Praiano, Cetara and Scala. The elegantly illustrated volume showcases the history of Amalfi, the culture of lemons, the craftsmanship of artisans and the region s wedding venues, local chefs and traditional dishes.
