Sunday is the Regata, this year in Amalfi!

The Regatta of the Ancient Maritime Republics is an annual event like no other. Every June, the four former powers that controlled the seas around Italy go back to battle in an attempt to once again lay claim to maritime greatness, not by invasions or trade wars but by historic-modeled rowing galleons manned by 8 strong and proud citizens. Amalfi, Pisa, Genoa and Venice take turns hosting the regatta, which pays homage to the former republics' histories and dominance. Initiated in 1954, the regatta is an opulent affair that is much more than a mere boat rally.

The gala begins with the pomp and splendor of a parade with hundreds of participants in period costumes perfectly detailed from the Middle Ages. The streets are festooned with flags while heralding trumpets and rhythmic drums lead an elegant shore-side procession that includes horses and sedan-chairs, while ladies and lords re-enact themes that represent historic events and figures of each Republic's past. There are cultural initiatives, historic displays, and general merriment during the events.

The regatta takes place on the sea in slender rowing boats called "gozzi". Each is painted distinctively for its republic: Blue for Amalfi; green for Venice; white for Genoa; and red for Pisa. The rowers pump their oars along the 1.2 mile course to take home the coveted trophy and bragging rights, to be enjoyed until the following year's competition.

The Regatta of the Ancient Maritime Republics is a colorful and exciting event that reminisces of the past power and grand glory of medieval seafaring cities with the pretty ports as a beautiful backdrop.

There is nothing like an Amalfi Coast lemon!!

Yellow gold.

In southern Italy, there lies the Coast of Amalfi. The Amalfi Coast is known throughout the world for its cultivation of lemons that seem to have a specific potency that is difficult to replicate, and its limoncello.

The lemon is the cultural staple of Amalfi and the coast is a very popular place for tourists to visit in Italy. It is not the lemons themselves that draw the tourists in, however. Life gave Amalfi Lemons ad they did more than just make lemonade, they made liqueur and granita (lemon slush).

Limoncello is mainly popular in Italy, however, it is becoming more prevalent within the United States, Canada, New Zeland and the UK. Locals on the Amalfi Coast love drinking finocchietto too (a liqueur made of the wild fennel seeds). Besides the fact that it is easy to make limoncello, every family has it’s own secret recipe and my mother’s cousin created his own brand which is very famous in the area… and not only here!

His name is Valentino from and he produces liqueurs, marmalade and chocolate.

Our favorite day trip guide is Zia Lucy! If you want to see Pompeii or walk with the Path of the Gods, she’s your gal!

Center of the daily life and focal point of the main public buildings, the Forum of Pompeii was excavated upon the request of María Carolina Bonaparte, queen of Napoli from 1808 to 1815.

The Forum was modified between the 3rd and 2nd century BC when the original shape of the square was regularised, surrounded by porticoes and the bottom paved with slabs of tuff.
