Ravello Italy

For hundreds of years, the captivating charm of Ravello's grand villas and cliffside gardens have drawn the world's most renowned artists to the small town situated high above the bay of Maiori. This includes musicians like Wagner, Grieg, Rostropovich, Toscanini, Bernstein; painters such as Escher, Turner and Mirò; and writers of the stature of D.H Lawrence, Forster and Virginia Woolf, all of whom spent time here. Now, Ravello is a well-known cultural hub, hosting high-profile events like the Ravello Festival and the Chamber Music Festival, which is organized by the Ravello Concert Society. Ravello, with its aristocratic charm and breathtaking beauty, patiently awaits the traveler who, from the seaside fishing villages of the Amalfi Coast, decides to journey up to the town, perched on a large rock spur, about 350 meters above the sea. Built on the site of a settlement thought to have been established by a Roman colony escaping from barbarian invasions; in the 9th century, Ravello became the chosen refuge of a group of noble families from Amalfi, who had rebelled against the authority of the Doge.
