Following the hairpin curves of the road cut into the green along the coast between Amalfi and Positano, one comes to Furore, “the town that isn’t”. In fact, rather than being a town with buildings close together, there are two villages. : one on the sea, the other one the mountains. Furore is a loose group of houses sprinkled across the rocky cliffs. These houses served to protect the fields and the country. The village of Fiordo, instead, is at the foot of the cliff, along the Amalfitana state road between Amalfi and Positano. The two villages are connected by a long step, built during the Republic of Amalfi. It has been the only connection from the sea to the mountains, for a long time.
