Ceramica a way of life here in "Vietri sul Mare Story and photos by David Geitzer". It 's amazing that the first town on the Amalfi coast is accessible so. You should take the winding Amalfi Coast to discover that certain place speciale.Vietri sea after tens of kilometers of tire-screeching road, but it is a "discovery." Vietri sul mare is about 40 miles south of Naples, just before the exit Salerno on the highway. Apart from tourism, the gains of the city derive from its ceramic industry. There are 38 Artistic Ceramics (potters) Vietri, according to a list of tourist Amalfi Coast. As you walk down the main street (one-way), you can see the windows covered with ceramic . From the windows of shops, you can often see the artists committed to work with the painting give the final details on plates, tiles and other ceramics. One of these artists, Pietro, while gently kicks potter's wheel with his foot, he says who had gone to ply his trade in Philadelphia. A desire to return home meant to him more than financial success, so he returned to Vietri. Peter makes it look easy as he dabs a new flower on a white bowl, which will be regenerated again in an oven to melt the enamel paint. Pictured Maria Palumbo early in his career, yet nineteen with skill and talent decorates a vase.
Getting to Vietri is easy. Take Highway A3 south towards Salerno and exit just past Cava dei Tirreni. For a return to Naples and a change of scenery, try to drive along the Amalfi Coast towards Sorrento. Marked signs will alert you to the highway for Naples.
