Ravello, in brief.

Villa Rufolo, Villa Cimbrone, Wagner, gardens.

The Amalfi Coast's serene aerie, set high above the sea on a ridge of gardens.

Villa Rufolo's belvedere so moved Wagner that he set Parsifal's enchanted garden here, while Villa Cimbrone's Terrace of Infinity hangs marble busts over the void.
