The Area’s Rich Heritage of Positano
Located along the stunning Amalfi Coast, Positano has a rich history rooted in maritime trade and artistic heritage. Dating back to ancient times, Positano flourished as a vibrant port city under Greek and Roman rule. The city served as a vital trading hub for goods such as ceramics, spices, and textiles. Throughout the centuries, the town experienced periods of prosperity and decline, shaped by influences from Byzantine, Norman, and Saracen conquests. Moreover, by the Renaissance era, Positano flourished as a thriving center for arts and craftsmanship. Consequently, it became famous for its intricate lacework and vibrant ceramics.
