Furore

Member of I Borghi più belli d'Italia

·

Rising from the Amalfi Coast towards Agerola, Furore is split into three districts, with murals painted on house walls along the road. Far below, the Schiato stream cuts the so-called fjord, a narrow sea inlet with a tiny fishing hamlet where Roberto Rossellini and Anna Magnani once lived. Each summer, divers leap from the 30-metre bridge across it in a stage of the high-diving world championship.

Highlights

  • The Fiordo di Furore, its fishing hamlet and the Rossellini-Magnani museum
  • The painted town: murals along the road on house walls
  • Sant'Elia, with a 1492 triptych by Angelo Antonello da Capua
  • San Giacomo, with crypt frescoes and carved Roman marble urns
  • Furore DOC wines and piennolo cherry tomatoes hung in bunches
