The beautiful ceramics with bright and bright colors, original in design and shapes, well known throughout the country, appreciated and sought after also abroad... The Amalfi Coast is a #UNESCO Heritage with 50km of coastline in the province of Salerno... #tuttitaly
Vietri Sul Mare is the last of the towns on the Amalfi Coast, continuing south, a few kilometers from Salerno. It is a full member of the villages and towns that should be visited during our holiday, which, like Positano and Amalfi, are extraordinarily beautiful.
Vietri has Etruscan origins and is among the most ancient towns on the Amalfi Coast; its history bounces between legend and reality.
The myth tells that Jason and fifty Argonauts, in their wanderings in search of the Golden Fleece, were precipitated on these shores by the angry force of Aeolus; falling in love with this coast, the hero founded a city there and built a temple dedicated to Hera Argiva.
If the history of Vietri Sul Mare is complex and fascinating, so are the beauties of the places that personalize it.
There are many monuments to visit and places of cultural interest, from the Parish Church of San Giovanni Battista to Villa Guariglia, from the Torre di Marina di Vietri at Ponte di Molina up to the Solimene ceramics factory, an example of post-World War II organic architecture created by Paolo Soleri. His interior contains a vast collection of contemporary ceramics.
The extraordinary characteristic of Vietri ceramics is that each ceramic is unique; there are no duplicates. Ceramics, one of the typical products of Vietri Sul Mare, made the city famous worldwide: the ceramic industry took hold in the late Renaissance thanks to the Sanseverino Princes and has always been a symbol of Vietri Sul Mare ever since.
Do not miss this wonderful village before entering the "traffic" of the Amalfi Coast. It could become a starting or refreshment point that will leave you amazed by its beauty.
