“Positano bites deep. It is a dream place that isn’t quite real when you are there and becomes beckingly real after you have gone. Its houses climb a hill so steep it would be a cliff, except that stairs are cut in it. I believe that whereas most house foundations are vertical, in Positano they are horizontal. The small, curving hay of unbelievably blue and green water lips gently on a beach of small pebbles..” -John Steinbeck Harper’s Bazaar,1953 — grazie mille a tutto il team le sirenuse
