Capri in Sight

Amalfi in Graffiti

While graffiti is far from a laughing matter for me, I have to admit this new piece of graffiti near the parking in the port of Amalfi made me smile yesterday. Then I was angry, but first I smiled. Anyone who knows my research past with the Duomo of Amalfi will understand why I smiled at this ...

Electronic System for Travel Authorization

Island of IschiaSince I was taken by surprise last week by a new rule issued by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection, I thought I would take a moment to mention it here. CBP now requires all visitors to the United States from any country participating in the Visa Waiver Program to fill out an ...

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. ⚽️
