May 25, 2011: Positano, Campania, Italy a deck with a view While I wait for my cousin to get back to me about her wedding book... my shipmate is reminding me about the book I said I would edit from our cruise back in May. This will be the front cover of the book. explore: September 14/11 Positano is a village on the Amalfi Coast, in Campania, Italy. The main part of the city sits in an enclave in the hills leading down to the coast. Positano was a port of the Amalfi Republic in medieval times, and prospered in the 16th and 17th centuries. But by the mid-19th century, the town had fallen on hard times. More than half the population emigrated, mostly to Australia. Positano was a relatively poor fishing village during the first half of the 20th century. It began to attract large numbers of tourists in the 1950s, especially after John Steinbeck published his essay about Positano in Harper's Bazaar in May, 1953: Positano bites deep, Steinbeck wrote. It is a dream place that isn’t quite real when you are there and becomes beckoningly real after you have gone.

Italia-Salerno_Costa Amlfitana_Positano: La leggenda narra che, tanti anni fa, all'incirca nel XII secolo d.Cr., una nave che trasportava un quadro della Madonna Assunta, di tipo Bizantino, stesse solcando le acque del Mar Tirreno, dinnanzi all'allora paesino di Positano. C'era bonaccia ed il veliero non riusciva in nessun modo a riprendere il mare, quando i marinai, monaci Benedettini, sentirono una voce che diceva POSA POSA... Posa Posa, ovvero fermatevi li, in quel posto, quasi proveniente dal quadro della Vergine Maria. Così si avvicinarono alla riva. I Positanesi, che da questo evento presero il loro nome, presero il quadro della Vergine e lo portarono nella Chiesa che oggi è situata nella piazza centrale del paese, Piazzetta dei Mulini. La lasciarono lì, ma al mattino miracolosamente questo era sparito e fu ritrovato vicino al mare, su di un campo di ginestre. Si pensa che anche lì ci fosse stato un miracolo, in quanto il quadro era arrivato li da solo. Fu così allora che i Positanesi iniziarono in quel punto la costruzione della nuova chiesa dedicata, appunto, a Maria Assunta, festeggiata con ogni onore il 15 agosto di ogni anno.
The Siren song / El canto de la Sirena
Made by Armando Alvarez
...To the Sirens first shalt thou come, who bewitch all men, whosoever shall come to them. Whoso draws nigh them unwittingly and hears the sound of the Sirens' voice, never doth he see wife or babes stand by him on his return, nor have they joy at his coming; but the Sirens enchant him with their clear song, sitting in the meadow, and all about is a great heap of bones of men, corrupt in death, and round the bones the skin is wasting... Circe to Odysseus in Homer's The Odyssey Rhapsody XII ...Llegarás primero a las sirenas, que encantan a cuantos hombres van a su encuentro. Aquel que imprudentemente se acerca a ellas y oye su voz, ya no vuelve a ver a su esposa ni a sus hijos pequeñuelos rodeándole, llenos de júbilo, cuando torna a su hogar, sino que le hechizan las sirenas con el sonoro canto sentadas en una pradera y teniendo a su alrededor enorme montón de huesos putrefactos cuya piel se va consumiendo... Circe a Odiseo en La Odisea de Homero Rapsodia XII
Dedicami i tuoi spazi e quest'immenso blu
Made by BlueDeepBlue
In fondo al mare cadono le onde Riposano per ripartire e lasciano un’impronta sulla sabbia prima di sparire. In fondo al mare nuotano i miei sogni, pronti per risalire. Si aprono nell’acqua come fiori e in un istante vanno verso il cielo. Dedicami i tuoi spazi e quest’immenso blu. Quale distanza serve per toccare terra? Voglio restare dentro questo quadro blu, qui in fondo al mare. In fondo al mare naviga il silenzio, rinchiuso dentro a sfere d’aria. Lo guardo allontanarsi e diventare ...l’universo in fondo al mare. Dedicami i tuoi spazi e quest’immenso blu. Quale distanza serve per toccare terra? Voglio restare dentro questo quadro blu, qui in fondo al mare Cristina Donà - In fondo al mare www.youtube.com/watch?v=BuWuc4DDB18

by John Steinbeck, ( from Harper's Bazaar, May 1953 Positano bites deep. It is a dream place that isn’t quite real when you are there and becomes beckoningly real after you have gone. Its houses climb a hill so steep it would be a cliff except that stairs are cut in it. I believe that whereas most house foundations are vertical, in Positano they are horizontal. The small curving bay of unbelievably blue and green water lips gently on a beach of small pebbles. There is only one narrow street and it does not come down to the water. Everything else is stairs, some of them as steep as ladders.
Positano..................NO MULTIPLE INVITES

Phaunus, the nature-spirit faun, the followers of Dionysus (Bacchus in later Roman mythology) are more accurately satyrs; the wild and orgiastic spirits that harassed nymphs. Fauns and satyrs were originally quite different creatures: whereas fauns are half-man and half-goat, satyrs originally were depicted as stocky, hairy, ugly dwarfs or wood woses with the ears and tails of horses or asses. Ancient Roman mythological belief also included a god named Faunus and a goddess named Fauna who were goat people.

oblicue
Made by Guido Ranieri Da Re - London in my eyes
(I know that the right word is oblique, but i need to joke... :-D ) . (so che l'ortografia della parola è oblique, ma mi andava di giocare... In più, in inglese oblique light è la traduzione di luce radente, ma oblique è anche usato come aggettivo con il significato di inclinato) . much better large size and on black - molto meglio in grande e su sfondo nero . .
Sleeping outside
Made by Lalallallala
But in the Positano there are lots of feral cats. Shy and curious, trusting and feeling fear when approached. We watched this one sleep on the stone bench all the day. In the night, we walked the same stairs to hostel and saw some dark lump at the base of the bench. Oh shhh, it's the cat, let's not wake him up! Next day we discovered it was an empty flower pot, forgotten there. Tight asleep, one might say.

We took the bus from Sorrento to Positano on our third day in the Amalfi coast area. We went through it previously on our way to Ravello, so we knew what to expect. A pretty amazing looking place. Took this one after we got off the bus, before we started making our way down to the City below.
