This section of the Tyrrhenian coast was placed in 1997 in the UNESCO’s World Heritage list. It runs between Sorrento and Salerno for less than 40 miles. It’s dotted by glamorous villas and numerous towns. Most photographed and visited places are Amalfi, Ravello, and Positano. This area has long been popular with travelers and artists. To drive through this extraordinary scenic highway carved alongside the most incredible rugged seascape was a challenge to the nervous system of drivers and passengers years ago; however, the excess of tourists and visitors makes the driving now slow and results in an exasperating tailgating creep behind myriads of trucks and tourist buses. The charming fishing villages, the churches filled with frescoes and mosaics, the shops, the dining and accomodation places, the luxurious vegetation of lemon, olives and almond trees as well as vines and bougainvillea and the ever constant view the magnificent blue sea makes this area still one of those places that imprint an unforgettable memory in our lives. The photo shows a view of Positano. Positano is considered to be the jewel of the Amalfi Coast. The Amalfi Coast (Costiera Amalfitana) is one of the most beautiful places of all Italy.

It is located in the west end of the Forum. There were three temples dedicated to Saturn on this location. The eight surviving columns of red and grey granite are from the third temple as reconstructed on 42 b.C. under Diocletian after a fire destroyed the second temple. It was originally used to house the “Aerarium” or the treasury of Rome. The fact that the columns show significant differences is an indication that in the reconstruction of this temple, they made use of materials coming from other ruined temples.

On August 11, 1717 work began on the foundations. Bizzaccheri, who had the good idea of taking Pope Clement's crest as his inspiration, designed a great octagonal basin with concave sides, so that the whole formed an 8-pointed star, part of the Pope's Albani family crest. The whole fountain is made of travertine and, in the center, two powerful, scaly tritons (the work of Francesco Moratti) rise above a group of rocky outcrops (carved by Filippo Bai). The overly huge tritons are kneeling back-to-back with their tails entwined, their raised arms supporting a second basin shaped to look like an open seashell. The basin also has Pope Clement's coat-of-arms carved on opposite sides (three hillocks beneath a star). In the background of the picture, you can see the round Temple of Hercules Victor or Hercules Olivarius is an ancient edifice located in the Forum Boarium, surrounded by Corinthian columns on all sides. It dates from about 120 b.C. This beautiful small temple is the earliest surviving marble building in Rome.
