Every year the Amalfi Coast is taken by storm by tourists from all over the world. From Vietri to Positano they choose their favorite beach, often exploring multiple locations because of the infinite beauty of each glimpse of the Coast. One of the most popular destinations for tourists, however, remains the Fjord of Furore. A wonder of nature, atypical for the characteristics of our territory.
Wrath. A name that has always aroused curiosity. An ancient legend has it that the devil had visited those places and did not like the treatment meted out to him by the locals. He left, stamping his feet in fury, in fact, causing the deep inlet.
The less romantic say instead that the name comes from the waves crashing furiously on the fjord's rocks.
However, we are certain of the correctness of its history. In ancient times, the fjord was home to factories, where paper was processed and dried in the valley. The locals have always been people with a sober and simple lifestyle, devoted to farming and handicrafts.
The Fiord, however, returns to the memory of nostalgic Italians for the location of the film "L'Amore" by Roberto Rossellini, master of Italian neorealist cinema. A place beloved by the director, Rossellini shot love scenes with the film's protagonist Anna Magnani, his love of the time.
The Fiordo appears as a rift within the coastal rock, creating a mountainous landscape, contrasting with the beautiful waters of the Amalfi Coast. Colorful houses and olive and lemon trees then lie harmoniously in the background, clinging to the rocky walls.
Fjord beach is very small and in summer it is often very crowded; seeing its beauty it could not be otherwise. Time has never changed its charm. The fact that it has never changed has never grown stale; on the contrary, it has made it a typical feature, as well as the flagship of ecotourism.
Also noteworthy are the many trails that start from the Fjord and wind all along the coast. Every year in July, an international diving competition, the Marmeeting, is held from the suspension bridge over the fjord. It is a unique place, loved by tourists and Salernitanians, who often make it a destination for out-of-town trips.
