Ravello was founded by Romans looking for a safe place during the period of instability due to the barbarian invasions.
From the 9th century it was first part of the Duchy of Amalfi and then of the Maritime Republic of Amalfi.
From the twelfth century onwards, the decline of the city began which will last until the nineteenth century when the Bourbons had the coastal road built and when it became a destination for the grand tour attracting personalities such as Greta Garbo, D.H.Lawrence, Richard Wagner, Winston Churchill, Virginia Woolf.
Ravello has inspired poets and writers, such as Giovanni Boccaccio who dedicated a short story to him in the Decameron.
Today Ravello is known as the "City of Music" for the many internationally renowned musical events, including the Ravello Festival, which attract enthusiasts to the area.
The appointment is at 9:00 in Piazza Vescovado di Ravello at the foot of the steps of the Cathedral of San Pantaleone.
