The passing of the “great travellers” and the settling of Sir Francis Nevile Reid in the town paved the way for the “rediscovery” of Ravello. Its enchanted landscape and various palaces enraptured artists and personalities from all over the world: Wagner, Gregorovius, Gide, Forster, Lawrence, Escher, i Reali di Svezia, Jaqueline Kennedy, Gore Vidal…

Thus, began the adventure of tourism, in its most exclusive form, inebriated by the scent of flowers and the silence of its terraces. Art flourished, which in Ravello is everywhere, in its churches, in the wonderful Villa Rufolo and Villa Cimbrone, in art galleries and museums, as well as the workshops of the local ceramists and the Coral Museum. T

he prestigious “Centro Universitario europeo per I beni culturali” was founded, along with the “City of Music” and the Ravello Festival. The Auditorium of Oscar Niemeyer was built and fantastic Ravello wines… fresh and delicate, DOC… rediscovered.
