Hugging a semi-vertical rock formation, Positano is the quintessence of
picturesque. Once one of the most exclusive retreats in Italy, this
seaside resort has been thoroughly "discovered" but retains its
character. Its unique mix of seascapes, colors, art, and cultural life
has fascinated many famous artists, from Pablo Picasso and Paul Klee to
Toscanini, Bernstein, and Steinbeck. Today, it is a favorite destination
of tourists and fashionistas, coming to buy what has become known as "Positano
Fashion" from the local designer showrooms and elegant boutiques, and
partaking of the cultural life. |
