The fjord is a deep cove, narrow and elongated, with very steep walls, where for millennia it creeps and rises bubbling the sea. You ask yourself that the fjords have to do with Italy, since the country known for the fjords is Norway. Instead, it has a lot to do with it, because I want to talk to you about a small, and perhaps the only Italian village known precisely for its fjord.

Furore is one of the most evocative corners of the Amalfi Coast. The contrast between the rocky walls, which one would expect more in the Dolomites than on the sea coast and the crystal clear sea of the Tyrrhenian Sea leaves breathless.

Here, hidden in the mountains, there is a small seaside village that arose during the period of the maritime republic of Amalfi. Its geographical position made it a real natural fortress where architecture had to adapt to the conformation of the terrain.

In Furore you will not find squares and wide; you will find yourself in a tangle of steep alleys, with staircases and old fishermen's houses, whose names remind the original important families of the place: Li Summonti, Le Porpore, Li Cuomi, Li Candidi.

The great location isn't the only attraction in Furore. At the entrance to the village will welcome you the inscription “Welcome to Furore, a painted village” and, entering the houses, you will immediately understand the meaning.

The walls of Furore's houses, covered with murals, constitute a sort of the open-air contemporary art gallery. You can admire authentic masterpieces painted in various techniques, signed by the artists who performed them.
