A Bricolage of History: From Cinema to Constantine
23 July, 2018
Driving
along the Amalfi
Coast is like entering a parallel universe circa 1960, when the
region blossomed with Audrey Hepburn glamour and la dolce vita was
the only way of life. The eternally romantic towns of Amalfi,
Ravello and Positano retain every morsel of their heyday charm and
remain enforceable stops on an oft-tread route – one that you will
take in a vintage Fiat 500.
A bricolage of historicism from cinema to Constantine, weave
past stoic architecture, crumbling churches and down vine-strung
backstreets as you make your way along the coastline. Beyond the
villages, tread a path that ebbs and flows between deliciously cold
swimming pitstops, pizza eaten in the shade of a citrus tree and
heady, Aperol-fuelled nights.
That’s amore, that’s Italy.
