Art Crafts on the Amalfi coast

250,00

The excursion on the Amalfi coast starts from Vietri sul Mare, a village clinging to the first part of the Amalfi coast, one of the most popular destinations for Italian and international tourists, which is considered the home of the colorful majolica tiles that cover the domes of the splendid churches of all towns of the Amalfi coast.
Throughout the excursion we will stop to admire top quality companies such as Solimene in the monumental building, designed by the great architect Paolo Soleri. Typical of organic architecture, the Solimene Ceramics complex is made up of inverted cone trunks covered with conical ceramic / terracotta pots and inserted in concrete.
No visitor will be able to return home without having purchased one of the ceramic jewels that will have conquered its heart in one of the shops scattered in the famous places such as Amalfi, Ravello and Positano.
