hree-Minute
Journeys
across the Bay Of Naples.
By TEMPLE MANNING

me D0y OF NoPteS.
"HE other day I told you about
Sorrento. that Italian seacoast
resort across the Bay OF Naples.
Today we r geing 10 visit an
other-Amalfi.
Like Sorrento. Amalfi Is built into
h mounteinside: is a veritable Sc
ries OF terraces up from the bay.
And Ike Sorrento. AmaH Is a favor
lite spot for tourists. From the
piazzas and balconies OF its hotels
one looks down on the bay with its
many little fisher boats.
The town proper Is an interesting
sight. As 1 have said. il IS built
right into the cliffs above the water
and as a result. the houses seem to
be on every possible level. The
streets r steep. OF necessity, and in
fact some OF them are flights OF
stairs: others tunnels.
Amalfi faces directly south and IN
the Summer the sun. cleaning in the
sky over Africa across the Mediter-
ranean, beats down m~ercilessly on
the little town. AS a result, the
houses have been built with small
doors and windows. but with many
balconies. Practically every balcony
has the protection OF an arch which
Is so placed that under the high Sum
mer sun it provides q cool shadow.
Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1930-03-18

On the other hand. in the Winter.
when the sun Is low IN the sky, the
rays can pass beneath this arch and
give warmth TO the building.
One Of the most famous things in
Amalfi Is the drive which IS built
into the cliff. AS one drives along
this road n has the sensation OF
being suspended between heaven and
earth. The sea seems right beneath
and above tower the crags OF the
mountains.
Throughout the whole district sur
rounding Ainalfi. ambitious farmers
try 10 wreSt a living from the rocky
soil The land has been completely
terraced and every bit OF soil Is made
70 dc its utmost IN producing crops.
The dress OF these peasants is color
ful and informal. including bare feet.
Their ability to climb the rocky
grades. particularly IN bare feet Is
astonishing.
AS one motors along CaIs Analfi
Drive the scene Gems 10 change con-
stantly. The color OF the water and
the sky. the harmonies OF verdure,
the occasional mountain stream
gushing through a ravlne-all these
make the view a constantly changing
one.
Amalfi Is ar ancient city. but II
was almost completely destroyed by
an earthquake and inundation early
IN the fourteenth century. This &C
counts for the absence OF relics from
past ages. There Is, however. a nota-
bic cathedral. the Cathedral Of Saint
Andrea. The front facade OF this
edifice was restored as recently as
1891. The bronze doors are a real
relic-they were made in Constan-
tinople before 1866
