Photo Friday: Amalfi Bougainvillea

Bougainvillea blooms at the Gran Caffè in Amalfi

I love it when the bougainvillea blooms on the Amalfi Coast each summer, and I know I’m not alone in this passion. Photo Friday this week is dedicated to Saretta from Amid the Olive Trees, who stopped by last week’s Positano Bougainvillea post and left a sweet comment asking for more bougainvillea photos. That’s an easy wish to fulfill! I wait each spring for the bougainvillea surrounding the ceramic sign of the Gran Caffè in Amalfi to bloom with its bright pink flowers. Such a delight! Wishing you all a delightful weekend from the Amalfi Coast!

    Thank you, thank you, thank you! It is so gorgeous, I’m sure I’m not the only one who thinks so. How cute that they got the plant to grow around their sign!

      Thanks, Pat! I’m so glad that I stopped to take this photo when I did. The next time I went to Amalfi I noticed that all the pretty blossoms had either fallen or been blown off. So sad! But I’m glad I captured it while they were there!

    Hi again Laura,
    We’ve corresponded a few times before–now my friends and I have returned to Atrani and we are enjoying reading your posts from a local perspective. I hope you don’t find this strange but we would love to meet you while we are here. We are in the Atrani main square at Bar Birecto most every evening from around 6:30-8:30– if you happen to be in Atrani please come and have some Prosecco with us! We are here until July 7, when we will somehow have to say goodbye to our beloved little town once more.
    Ciao,
    Kate

    My wife took the same picture of the Bougainvillea of the Gran Caffe, but I could have sworn it was in Minori and not Amalfi.Maybe they have 2?
    Happy belated birthday. Tante Auguri!

      Ciao Dan! I don’t think there’s a Gran Caffé in Minori, but I could be mistaken as I don’t get over there as often as I would like. Glad you had the chance to see the pretty bougainvillea with your wife! 🙂 Thanks for the birthday wishes!!

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. 🖤

Here was a quiet moment in Atrani before the celebrations began. ⚽️
