Amalfi lines both sides of the steep Valle dei Mulini - the site of some of Europe's first papermaking factories. Amalfi was also the centre of a maritime republic which flourished between 800 and 1100, and had 70,000 inhabitants in its prime. |
|  | Today it is the most well known resort in the Amalfi costiera area and although bustling with tourists its a must visit - notably for its beautiful Cathedral with its moorish facade. |

Hope my first view replicates yours! It looks as if the path to the papermill might just be the favorite part of that adventure. Grazie for a lovely tour, Carol | Pawtuxet Thu Jun 7, 2007 14:45 UTC

Great place for a second honeymoon :-) It is becoming clearer and clearer that our only option is to move to Italy. We've just got to see it all!!! Thanks again Sandy...Tom | TempNomad Fri Nov 12, 2004 21:25 UTC
