Nestled on the Amalfi Coast, of impressive beauty, elected among other countries on the coast, in 1997, a World Heritage Site by UNESCO: < ; strong> Vietri Sul Mare is dominated by the cathedral, the main city monument, named after St. John the Baptist. Of seventeenth-century architecture, the church stands out for its majestic bell tower, the elegant dome, the exquisite of its interiors. Of ancient artisan tradition, the city is well known for the art of pottery processing: the ceramics cover the historic center of Vietri giving it light and splendor.

To learn more about this important and ancient art, which represents one of the pillars of the local economy, I recommend you visit the provincial museum of ceramics based in Villa Guarilla. Here there are ceramic finds dating back to the period from the eighteenth century to the first half of this century.

The tour includes objects of a religious and devotional nature with particular attention to the so-called 'German period'. Among the main works on display, you can admire 'Jonah swallowed up by the whale' by Richard Dölker from 1930, and the crib of Margarete Thewalt Hannash from the 20th century. The museum offers, among other things, the possibility to book guided tours. Abducted by the beautiful colors of the panoramic terrace on the Gulf of Salerno, I end my trip to Vietri Sul Mare, enjoying the unmissable taste of the real coastal limoncello amalfi.
