| Welcome to
Ravello -
Amalfi Coast ( Italy ) |
|
“The coast between Reggio and Gaeta is the most
beautiful in Italy. One of the most anchanting
spot on it is Ravello, where many rich men live;
one of these was exstemely rich and his name was
Landolfo Rufolo”…(G. Boccaccio)As we see in the
4th novella in the 2 nd day of the Decameron,
the scenary and the monuments of Ravello, which
was founded by a roman colony in the 6th century
A.D. were already famous centuries ago. Perched
on a 350 ft high cliff overlooking the blue sea
of the Amalfi Coast, it has conserved its
historical monuments through the ages in a
natural setting which has few equals in the
world.One of the most important monuments is the
Cathedral, founded in 1086, where one can admire
the Ambo and the Pulpit decorated with Byzantine
masaics, relics as the bust of Sigilgaita
Rufolo, the splendid bronze doors by Barisano da
Trani and the museum situated in the crypt.Villa
Rufolo is the garden where Richard Wagner found
his magical garden of Klingsor for the 2nd act
of Parsifal, on May 26th 1880; it is for that
reason that the Wagner Festival take place every
year, during the month of July. It is also the
seat of European University Centre for the
Cultural Heritage |
