Ravello
is one of the most famous places in Italy. It is in an enchanting
position on the Southern side of the Sorrento peninsula. Many
houses at Ravello were built in the Sicilian Moorisch style because
the town had close commercial contracts with Sicily and the Middle
East during its richest period between the 11th and 13th centuries.
Villa Rufolo is one of this buildings. The Villa is famous for
its splendid view of the Amalfi coast and the splendid garden
(see photo): a miscellany of scent and colours in an unforgettable
scenario.
In the Ravello Cathedral some of the most interesting artistic
treasures on the Amalfi coast are kept, including the richly chiselled
bronze door and the fantastic pulpit. The Pulpit (see photo) was
designed by Nicolò di Bartolomeo in the thirteenth century.
As regards the bronze door, it was donated by the patrician of
Ravello named Sergio Muscettola in 1179 and it is a work of great
historic and artistic interest.
