The Amalfi Coast is a mythical place with dream villas in a unique landscape. A sought-after destination among artists and the international jet set thanks to its spectacular topography, which combines a rugged coast and cliffside villages overlooking the sea with the climate and light of the Mediterranean and the characteristic traditions and craftsmanship of the Campania region.
The coffee table book "Amalfi Houses" by Rizzoli collects the most beautiful houses of the Sorrento Peninsula and the coastal strip stretching from Positano to Vietri sul Mare, villas from different eras with different styles, some of which were decorated by famous designers and artists. Each villa surprises the reader with its unique character: historic houses transformed over the years and more modern villas, some with lush gardens, all equally fascinating thanks to their topographical location, architectural quality, furnishings and interior decorations, including Vietri's truly unique ceramic floors. They all contain remarkable stories about the people who inhabited and transformed them, stories that journalist Ana Cardinale has chronicled with great detail.
The photographs were taken especially for the book by renowned French photographer Matthieu Salvaing. They include the exterior and spectacular views of the landscape, the interior and furnishings, and numerous decorative details of the ceramic elements.
