Ravello
Situated at the top of Valle del Dragone, it’s a “garden-city” where you can admire wonderful and indescribable landscapes. From many centuries lots of travellers, intellectuals and artists of all nationalities have been attracted from the beauty of this site, as : Boccaccio, Wagner and many others.
Ravello was a residence of Roman Patricians and, as Amalfi, knew its maximum splendour between the X and XIII century thanks to the intense maritime trade and the production of tissues (wool and cotton). The decline came with the Normanni of Ruggero and their domination and especially with the invasion of Pisani in 1337. They took off the economic and politics independence in all the Amalfi coast.

At the end of V century a.C Paestum was conquered from Lucani.
