Ciao Amalfi

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.

    Ciao Food Hunter! How exciting! Will this be your first trip to the Amalfi Coast?

    Ciao Gil! Ooh, Cape Cod sounds lovely though! 🙂

What a moving experience yesterday morning to see What a moving experience yesterday morning to see the Olympic torch in Amalfi. 🔥 One of the many many reasons I love living right in the center of Amalfi is that in one minute I can be in the middle of making pasta with artichokes and the next watching a historic moment happen. I never take that for granted! @milanocortina2026 @olympics

Lovely new Christmas ornament created by @illustra Lovely new Christmas ornament created by @illustrationbyjonathan of Jane Austen’s House in Chawton and her tiny 12-sided writing table. It looks exactly like the beautiful spring day when I was there in April this year. Such a beautiful memory! I think this will have to stay out all year.
Happy 250th birthday to Jane Austen! One of the de Happy 250th birthday to Jane Austen! One of the definite highlights of my year was visiting @janeaustenshouse in Chawton on a beautiful spring day. I still think of her tiny writing table and what it felt like to stand there and take it all in. I’ve enjoyed the book “A Jane Austen Year” throughout the year - pulling it off the shelf at the start of each month. While at Chawton, I picked up the embroidery kit by @abigailrosecreative made to celebrate the 250th celebration. I’ve been wanting to learn to do embroidery for years, so this was the perfect souvenir from Jane Austen’s House. Still a work in progress, but I’m nearly there! 🧵🪡
I don’t know how to begin describing Naples, which I don’t know how to begin describing Naples, which is how I felt seeing “Partenope - Musica per la sirena di Napoli” at the @teatrosancarlo yesterday. This opera in one act was written by the great Ennio Morricone 30 years ago, and it was finally performed for the first time this weekend. Just in time for the 2,500th anniversary of the founding of Naples. Mary Oliver wrote: “A town cannot live on dreams.” I was thinking about that line yesterday and wondering if maybe a town could live on mythology. 2,500 years later, Naples might just be proof that it can.

As 2025 winds down, I’ve been making my way throug As 2025 winds down, I’ve been making my way through some of the books sitting unfinished on my bedside table. I usually finish a book once started, but occasionally I come across one that is so good I can’t let myself rush through it all at once. I want to hang on to that first read as long as I can, slowly savoring the way it changes the geography of my mind.

This autumn that has been “Upstream” - a selection of essays by Mary Oliver. If “attention is the beginning of devotion,” as Oliver writes in the first essay in the book, I am deeply devoted to her writing. Few writers capture my attention and hold it the way she does. This will be a book I know will return to again and again. And, even though I’ve finished, it might be a long time before it leaves my bedside table. I’ll just leave you with a couple of Oliver’s magical lines:

“You must not ever stop being whimsical.

And you must not, ever, give anyone else the responsibility for your life.”
