Hello everyone, today I'll talk about a municipality in the province of Salerno, which holds a special place in the hearts of Italians: Furore.

In addition, it's part of the list of the most beautiful villages in Italy.
The Geography of Furore

Furore Fjord
One of the main attractions of Furore is the fjord, which, despite its name, is actually a narrow inlet. It's a body of water at the mouth of a steep valley. The fjord was the location for the film "L'Amore" directed by Roberto Rossellini, who also had a house in this small fishing village. The fjord is crossed by the state road through a single-arch bridge, from which a stage of the World High Diving Federation Championships takes place every summer.
Hiking Trails

The History of Furore
Furore is named after the roar created in this place during a storm that instilled fear and terror. During the Duchy of Amalfi, Furore was an extramural hamlet of Amalfi. In the past, the territory included two suburbs: Terra Furoris and Casanova. However, since the 17th century, the suburb of Casanova is no longer mentioned in public documents.
Today, Furore is a unique and independent municipality that has maintained its unique history and identity.
