Amalfi boasts the very rare chance to be blessed equally, by the nature’s generosity and human’s creative power. Its sensibly gentle climate and delightful beaches, with the buildings clinging to the rocky slope turns it into a nook, compatible only with the concept of Eden. It was just the place that made Renato Fucini to say, once:”when people from Amalfi will go to Paradise, it will be an ordinary day for them”.
The architectural value and historic significant of all the monuments here are still one more reason for the enormous interest of the place. It attracts a lot of tourists, thirsted of light and beauty, from all over the world.
Ruga Nova Mercatorum
or the better known Via dei Mercanti remains the most fascinating street of the town. It starches away from the Porta dell’ Ospedale to the Salita dei Curiali ending at the medieval-era contrada (neighborhood) – filled with gardens and churches. Being the main thoroughfare for the whole region before, it is now completely covered and preserved as a tunnel, but looks wonderful during the night, when the light from alleys and windows plays on its white walls.
