Ciao Amalfi

A Summer Morning in Atrani

A beautiful Saturday morning and I needed a few photos for an article I was writing on the town of Atrani on the Amalfi Coast. There was only one thing to do … a photo outing! It was a peaceful morning, and I saw only a few people while I wandered through town taking photos. Head over to Charming Italy to see some of the photos and to read more about Atrani, a little town just around the corner from Amalfi. I was inspired by the quiet beauty of Atrani that morning and took quite a few photos. For all my readers who love Atrani, here are some of my favorites that didn’t make it into the article.  Enjoy!

    Lovely! Makes me miss one of our fave restaurants, L’Arcate, right on the waterfront – have you tried it?

    Hi, my fiance and I are considering heading to the Amalfi coast for our honeymoon. It looks absolutely perfect! The thing is though, the we are only able to go in late november to early December. Do you think a winter visit is a good idea? When do the Christmas markets and lights start up around Amalfi?

    Thanks!

      Ciao Evie,
      First …congratulations on your upcoming wedding!! I love the Amalfi Coast year round, but certainly most of the things that people come for are different from the summer to winter. But on a beautiful and clear day the views are still just as pretty! Also, at the end of November is the winter festival for Sant’ Andrea in Amalfi, which is a huge and very local celebration. It’s hard to say with the Christmas lights, but they’re usually up toward the beginning of December, and the shopping and events are fun. It’s just that it can be quite chilly … in that damp and humid sort of way. Like I said … I love it year round, and on this hot and sticky summer day … thinking of the quiet autumn days sounds pretty nice! 🙂
      Happy honeymoon planning!
      Laura

    As I sit in blazing hot Rome, I’m sighing over these amazing photos. I wish I was sitting right by the sea.

    Looks like the beach recovered nicely from the mudslide last summer, which I happened to be there when it occured.

      Ciao Tara! I imagine that was quite an impressive and scary experience! I was down in Atrani the morning after, and it was very sad. The beach was put back into place rather late this season … but today it was packed with people and looked back to normal!

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.”
