AMALFI COAST
|
|
|
From a yacht at sea on a blinding summer’s afternoon, the
dizzy
wall of terraced vines and lemon groves, the tiny white
houses and the
purple bougainvillea, the perfect fingernails of
beach below, all lull you
into a timeless present.
Yet a thousand years ago, today’s toy town was the
hub of
the known world.—Peter Robb, novelist
In the October 1999
issue of TRAVELER, explore the Amalfi Coast with Gore Vidal, a
novelist, playwright, essayist, and political analyst who has
made Ravello his home since 1971.
