Positano is the favourite holiday place of many people from all over the
world. Famous writers, musicians, dancers, painters, sculptors,
photographers and actors have lived or spent their holidays here, being
inspired by the magic of the spots.
Why do all these people visit Positano?
The answer is that the town is a really beautiful and friendly place,
with its typical Mediterranean architecture and fine views, with its
small shops, typical workshops, ateliers, and cafes. Positano was part
of the medieval Republic of Amalfi, and the church of Santa Maria
Assunta, near the beach, has a fine majolica dome and a couple of
notable paintings. Classic music, literature and ballet are at home in
Positano, with several happenings and shows (the most famous are the L.
Massine Art of Ballet Award, in September, and The International Chamber
Music Festival, in August). Finally, Positano has a fine beach for
swimming and boating and it is a good starting point to visit Pompei,
Sorrento, Capri and Amalfi.
