View of Positano (Unesco world heritage), on the Amalfi coast, Italy
Positano is a village and comune on the Amalfi Coast (Costiera Amalfitana), in Campania, Italy.
Positano was a port of the Amalfi Republic in medieval times, and prospered during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. By the mid-nineteenth century, however, the town had fallen on hard times. More than half the population emigrated, mostly to America.
Positano was a relatively poor fishing village during the first half of the twentieth century. It began to attract large numbers of tourists in the 1950s, especially after John Steinbeck published his essay about Positano in 1953: Positano bites deep. Steinbeck wrote: It is a dream place that isnat quite real when you are there and becomes beckoningly real after you have gone
