Abstract

The coast of Amalfi, La Costa Divina, or “The Divine Coast” as it is called in Italy, is truly breathtaking. Huge rocks and cliffs rise out of the sea and strange rock formations hide small bays and caves in which the available light breaks out in magnificent colors. The Amalfi Coast has for centuries attracted artists and writers. In his Decamerone, Boccaccio writes about this Amalfi coast, “Happy is the land that has found its literary advocate, for the eye reads in the landscape too.” And it was the famous Italian poet Renato Fucini who wrote, “For the Amalfi people who go to paradise, the Day of Judgement will be a day like any other day.”
