Positano is a small fishing village inhabited by four thousand people. It is located on the Sorrentine Peninsula on the Mediterranean Sea, between Naples and Salerno. The village was founded in the middle ages but it flourished in the Renaissance thanks to maritime trade. It was John Steinbeck who discovered the village for the world. He described it in 1953 in “Harper’s Bazaar” magazine as a place from dreams, which seems to be unreal whenever one stays there, and starts tempting as soon as one leaves it. Since the moment the article was published the village has been visited by numerous tourists.
