Excerpt from an old descriptive: "Amalfi is a small town in the kingdom of Naples, and is built on the steep declivity of a mountain, which overlooks the Gulf of Salerno...This little fishing town - for it is nothing more now - was once a large commercial port, renowned for its trade with Egypt and the East. The whole region round about the Bay of Salerno is one of great interest, not alone for its picturesque beauty, but because it was the favourite haunt of some of the great painters of past years - Guido and Domenichino, Spagnoletto, Caravaggio, and Lanfranc; and since their time few artist visit Italy without including it in their travels. The picture depicts the true spirit of the Italian landscape - that air of listless luxuriance that pervades both the scenery and the people of Italy..."

Amalfi is now one of the important tourist resorts in Italy, noted for its mild climate and splendid coastal scenery, with high precipices and a background of picturesque hillside houses. The local cultivation of lemons is known throughout Italy.
