By the eleventh century, waswas considered the center of medical knowledge in western Europe, but from the thirteenth century, during the descent. brother of Napoleon, Joachim Murat in the right includes the right to education. The University of Salerno was listed in 1968. It includes a school of medicine and surgery.

Be sure to see thebeautiful Cloister of Paradise (Paradise Monastery), the burial place for the local bigwigs. The chapels date from the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries and are decorated with magnificent frescoes. Stop the Museum of the Basilica to see so many other historical treasures. The crypt of St Andrew (Crypt of St. Andrew), built in the thirteenth century, contains many relics of St. Andrew, younger brother of Saint Peter.
A couple of miles north-east of the village of Amalfi RavelloPopulation over two thousand five hundred. Ravello has a great annual festival of Italian music in honor of a famous guest, the German opera composer Richard Wagner, held at Villa Rufolo, described below.
The strong Arab influence Villa Rufolo is a 90-foot (30 meter) observation tower and gardens, a favorite of German opera composer Richard Wagner. This villa has been mentioned by the famous Italian writer Giovanni Boccaccio, The Decameron.
The nearby VillaCimbrone looks old but was actually built in 1905. It is now a luxury hotel. Whether your stay at the hotel you really should walk through the rose gardens and see the Infinite Belvedere (Belvedere of Infinity), overlooking the Gulf of Salerno.

Palazzo Murat Joachim Murat lived in during his reign as king of Naples and Sicily. As you can imagine, the building was not a small town that weekend to frenzied, fast-paced office. The gardens are beautiful and the Palace is located directly on the beach. You too can stay there, is now a hotel. The Romanesque of the thirteenth centuryChurch Santa Maria Assunta (Church of Santa Maria Assunta) is famous for its wood Byzantine painting of the Madonna and Child, the Black Virgin known. According to legend, the painting was by Saracen pirates who fled in a stolen right storm. A voice from "Posa Posa" (set down, put it down) called. Were doing and fled to the rest. The painting was called, and that's the name of the city.
Before leaving Positano visit the main beach, the seaGrande and his band, The Way of America Positanesi for thousands of locals, who emigrated to the United States, called on foot, especially after New York City to seek a better life. I'll let you decide where to live better today - Positano or New York City. While walking many attractions like the Tower Trasita, a historic fortified tower to see turned into a residence.
Sorrento, more than sixteen thousand population is about 30 miles (50 kilometers) awaysouth of Naples, the Bay of Naples. It 's a place, perhaps for 2,000 years have been. His visitors included the great British author Lord Byron and Keats, the German author Goethe, the Russian writer Maxim Gorky, and Italian opera singer Enrico Caruso and Luciano Pavarotti.
Sorrento has excellent museums. The Correale Museum proudly displays his collection of sixteenth, seventeen and eighteenth century paintings, furniture and decorationsObjects.

Here you can see his crypt and two whale bones. According to legend, belonged to a whale swallows that she was a child, saved by San Antonio in his most famous miracles.
What food? As mentioned in other articles of this series, is to eat a lot of Campania. Lemons are a local specialty, especially when the rinds are made from a sweet liqueur known as limoncello. Anchovy is another localSpecialties. I do not recommend them together.
Let's suggest a sample menu, one of many. Start with Spaghetti with clam sauce (spaghetti with clams). Then try sea bass (sea bass). For dessert, indulge all'Arancio Tart (Orange Tart). Make sure your well-being increased by including local wines with food.
We conclude with a brief look at Campania wine. Campania ranks ninth among the 20 Italian regions for both surfaces on wineGrape and wine production year. The region produces about 64% close to 36% and red and white wine, because there is little red? Campania produces 17 DOC wines. DOC stands for Protected Designation of Origin, as the designation of origin, presumably, a high-quality wine can be translated. The G stands for Guaranteed DOCG, but in fact there is no guarantee that these wines are truly superior. Only 2.8% of Campania wine carries the DOC or DOCG. There arethree DOCG wines: the red Taurasi, the white Greek di Tufo, Fiano di Avellino and white. I tasted the Fiano and found it on top of the line.
There are two DOC wines produced in this area: Amalfi Coast and Sorrento. Both are available in a variety of styles with a variety of local grapes. Test. But you can certainly buy better wine from Campania.
