Furore

Member of I Borghi più belli d'Italia

Rising from the Amalfi Coast towards Agerola, Furore is split into three districts, with murals painted on house walls along the road. Far below, the Schiato stream cuts the so-called fjord, a narrow sea inlet with a tiny fishing hamlet where Roberto Rossellini and Anna Magnani once lived. Each summer, divers leap from the 30-metre bridge across it in a stage of the high-diving world championship.

Highlights

  • The Fiordo di Furore, its fishing hamlet and the Rossellini-Magnani museum
  • The painted town: murals along the road on house walls
  • Sant'Elia, with a 1492 triptych by Angelo Antonello da Capua
  • San Giacomo, with crypt frescoes and carved Roman marble urns
  • Furore DOC wines and piennolo cherry tomatoes hung in bunches
