Furore
IL paese che non c'è
Furore, one of the "UNESCO World Eritage Sites", is a village characterized by a hilly and a coastal territory, like many towns
of the Amalfi Coast.
Furore, starting from the coast, at the Fiordo di Furore, sea level, surrounded by the towns of Conca dei Marini and Praiano, reaches an
altitude of about 600 m above sea borders with the City of Agerola. This privileged location, sunny and breezy, has allowed the spread
of lemon trees, olive groves and vineyards in the fields terraced, and today Furore is included in the "City of Wine" with prestigious
wines such as Furore Amalfi Coast and the Fior d ' Uva di Marisa Cuomo.
The territory of Furore is picturesquely divided into three districts: San Jaco (district of the Ciuccio), Sant'Agnello (The Cat) and Sant'Elia (district de la Cicala). The landscape is characterized by the presence of many churches with bell towers with the top covered in majolica tiles: Santa Maria della Pietà, St. James dating from the eleventh century (which have recently been found some frescoes attribuited to Odorisio to the school of Giotto), St. Michael the Archangel, St. Pasquale Baylon (Patron of Furore), S. Elijah the Prophet, built in 1300, renovated at the end of 1400 (preserves a remarkable triptych of 1482 of the painter Angelo Antonello da Capua, depicting the Madonna and Child with St. Bartholomew and St. Elias on the sides), plus numerous chapels
Il Canto delle Sirene B&B is situated in a comfortable structure and is located in Contrada Santo Jaco in the district called the Ciuccio, near the tread of the Devil. The Legend tells that the devil had visit to the inhabitants of Furore, who welcomed him "furiously". The devil in anger struck his feet firmly on the ground, leaving imprinted forever on that stretch of road, the shape of his hoof goat.
From the panoramic terrace of the B & B Il Canto delle Sirene, you will enjoy an enchanting view on the coast with the bell towers of some of the oldest churches in Furore, the wonderful sea that bathes the shores of Amalfi, Praiano, Positano, the islands of Capri, Ischia and ' Li Galli Island, from which the enchanting Sirens tried in vain to groped Ulysses
