Amalfi – Culture

Amalfi with its effort of history offers unique aspects from the cultural point of view. It is possible to catch that mix among architectural styles that convert in local stone artistic motifs of oriental taste.

The Cathedral, churches, palaces with columns in atriums, farmers’houses once scattered among terraces reveal the ancient wisdom of those who wanted to make functional and big at the same time their own town.

The many festivals, of which the most important and spectacular is surely the Feast of St. Andrew, testify to the ancient and profound traditions of this city.

Amalfi culture expresses itself through its heritage of handmade knowledge: production of the famous bambagina paper which took place in factories built along Chiarito valley, the production of iron objects to build ships and the transformation of wheat in flour to prepare pasta.
