Sunshine & Music in Amalfi

 

Ciao Amalfi Coast Blog Spring Amalfi

 

I returned to find absolutely glorious and sunny spring weather on the Amalfi Coast. The air is still cool in the shade, but when the sun shines all is right with the world and everyone knows la primavera is just around the corner. These are photos I snapped today while out running errands in Amalfi.

Walking into Piazza Duomo, the main square in Amalfi, I heard a band playing. How festive! The Mounds View High School Band from Arden Hills, Minnesota were set up in the sun at the base of the steps to the Duomo of Amalfi. A crowd of locals standing around were enjoying the music and the sun. So I naturally joined in and smiled as the crowd sang along to the Italian national anthem played by the Minnesota band.

Last year about this time I happened across another band group from Minnesota playing in the Piazza Duomo in Amalfi. Since I went to graduate school in the Twin Cities, it’s always fun to see other folks from Minnesota in Amalfi.

    It's so much fun to check your blog and find these traces of Minnesota – although I'd much rather trade places with you right now.
    Fondly,

The final steps to @villalarondinaia where the fir The final steps to @villalarondinaia where the first glimpse of the villa comes into view. Even within the private terraced gardens, it’s remarkably secluded. Walking through the gardens, I couldn’t imagine the great good fortune of being able to write and create here as Gore Vidal did for over 30 years. This is a place that certainly inspires!

This spring I finally had the chance to visit @villalarondinaia - and bit was an incredible experience.

Today is an unspeakably sad day for the Amalfi Coa Today is an unspeakably sad day for the Amalfi Coast after the tragic bus accident this morning in Ravello where Nicola Fusco, a young bus driver only 29 years old, lost his life. Investigations are currently underway to determine the cause and I won’t share the upsetting details. The road to Ravello is currently closed and it’s not clear when it will reopen. Nicola was a kind, talented, and experienced driver—the third generation of drivers in his family—a family very close to ours. My husband has been a guide with all three generations and watched Nicola grow up. This is something that shouldn’t happen, shouldn’t ever happen, but it’s something we all fear here. Our hearts are with the Fusco family and to everyone who Nicola’s life touched. 🖤

To say this is a big deal for the fans doesn’t even begin to describe it. I’ve been watching videos from Amalfi, Sorrento, Ischia and all around Campania. Here was a quiet moment in Atrani before the celebrations began. ⚽️
