Ravello, the gem of
the Amalfi Coast, rule over the villages of Minori and Maiori
like a real open terrace on the sea. It is a balcony overlooking
the paradise.
Its beauty was discovered by Boccaccio in the “Decamerone” and
by William Turner in his paintings of which drafts are today
exposed at the Tat and Gallery of London. In the middle of
the village, on the right of the Cathedral dome, a square-shaped
tower show the entrance of the Villa Rufolo, built in the
XIII century, where it is possible to visit the terrace of
Wagner, which inspired the player the scene of the garden
of Klingsor, second act of the Parsifal.
The landscape is
the setting, each summer, of the Ravello Festival. |
