Ciao Amalfi

Banner, Ciao Amalfi · June 1, 2009

Ready for Summer on the Amalfi Coast!

Ready for summer!

June has arrived, and with it comes warm the summer days pefect for enjoying the beaches on the Amalfi Coast and the fresh summer produce of Campania. I am ready! To celebrate here on Ciao Amalfi, I have replaced the banner photo of the Amalfi Coast on the top of the blog to a photo I took recently in Amalfi. It captures the excitement of the beginning of summer for me! I will be changing the banner image every month now to highlight different seasons and locations around the Amalfi Coast. I hope you enjoy the new photos each month!


What are your summer plans?

    Hi Laura – I love your new blog photo, and such a great idea to change each month, cannot wait to see what else you come up with, it will be great anyway.

    I have no summer plans, more Autumn-Winter..not unless I find a traveller partner, to come with me..it would be too expensive for me to rent an apartment on my own, but also I like to share my holidays..like the company.

    Look out in the post 🙂

    Ciao Anne! Happy you like the new blog photo! I am also so excited about changing the banner photos monthly. It will be fun to try to capture something about the Amalfi Coast for each month. Fun!

    Hope you have some good Autumn-Winter travel plans to look forward to! Oooh…. love getting mail! Can’t wait! 🙂

    Ciao Scintilla! Grazie! Yes, I took that down near where the SITA buses and tourist buses park in Amalfi. Good eye! Amalfi has those distinctive cement stones along the port that are shaped like jacks.

    Unfortunately there will be no Naples or Amalfi for my wife and I this year. We’ll be hanging around the house and probably go to Cape Cod.

When I walked by this ceramic table in Praiano, it When I walked by this ceramic table in Praiano, it reminded me of one of my favorite Italian words: garbuglio. It means a tangle or a mess. But not just any mess, a conspicuous and intricate mess. I think we can all find a few of those around these days. Now you know what to call it in Italian!
Completely unplanned, I ended up getting off the b Completely unplanned, I ended up getting off the bus in Pontone this morning instead of Minuta. The steps up between these two hamlets of Scala are quite steep, but it was a perfect autumn morning. Brilliant sun but a cool north breeze and the air full of the honeyed scent of sweet alyssum (which I can spot thanks to Giacomo from @cookeatsquare!) and birdsong. As a little reward to myself for the unexpected effort, I meandered a bit to enjoy the crimson vines and some sunflowers dancing in the breeze. Autumn is coming - even on the Amalfi Coast! 🍂
You have to look close for any signs of autumn in You have to look close for any signs of autumn in Amalfi. Surrounded mostly by olive, lemon, pines, and other types of evergreen trees, we don’t have much for fall foliage right in the center of town. Oh but I look! In the golden moments of the morning just as the sun hits Amalfi for the first time, I’m out there imagining autumn colors. 🍂
This month’s newsletter continues the travels in This month’s newsletter continues the travels in Italy with American poet H.W. Longfellow in 1828 as he made his way down to Naples. Plus a look at Grand Tour volcano tourism and a bonus of 19th-century tips for now not to be a tourist. Link in bio!
Mmmhmm autumn is definitely my favorite season. 🧡 This morning I woke up a bit earlier than my alarm and looked outside somewhat perplexed. The entire sky, the town—everything—had a burnt orange hue. A hurried lacing up of the shoes and still bleary eyed, but I just had to see it better for myself. It was a glorious sunrise. Now the rain has just gently started falling and I’m in full autumn ecstasy.

Later I’ll return to the piano to pick up where I left off yesterday learning this beautiful autumn waltz by @andreavanzo_composer. 🍂

It was fun to see the grapes on the same vines just before harvest begins. Swipe to the right to see the same grapes back in May. Happy autumn!
