MAN'S ATTEMPTS TO CULTIVATE THE ANCIENT AND WILD LANDSCAPE OF THE AMALFI COAST The Borgo Santandrea grounds have been transformed and now contain some of the most beautiful gardens imaginable thanks to the passion of the head gardener.

Clouds of orange tagetes flowers give off a lemony scent if you pick their leaves. The perfect way to see Italy’s most beautiful stretch of coast | The Times

UNLIKE LIMESTONE CAPRI, ISCHIA IS VOLCANIC. Hot springs emerge from the rock at seemingly random intervals; at Sorgeto Bay the sand reaches 100°C. The mountain at the island’s centre, Monte Epomeo, rises to 788 metres and is laced with ancient hiking trails through volcanic tufa, lichen-covered rock and terraced vineyards. The wine those vineyards produce – above all the Biancolella, a crisp, mineral white found nowhere else in quite the same form.

SUN, SALT, AND SUOLO VULCANICO — IT MUST BE CAMPANIA As peak holiday season winds down, I’m daydreaming about more than yachts and ripe tomatoes… this region’s wines are just as unforgettable.

THE REINVENTION OF TAURASI: PATERICO AS THE FIRST MODERN FINE WINE FROM SOUTHERN ITALY. The purest expression of Taurasi and the Aglianico grape, an approach exemplified by Gian Luca Mazzella. The 2021, 2020, and 2019 vintages of his two wines, tasted at the end of 2025, were exceptionally tannic and frontal. This is despite not pressing the grapes and using very large foudres for aging. Mazzella macerates the grapes for three months, followed by three to four years of aging. Taurasi in Transition: Reimagining Aglianico in Southern Italy | GuildSomm

THE WOMEN OF NAPLES ARE THE FACE OF THE CITY An almost exclusively male domain, but in Barcelona we witnessed a historic turning point with the introduction of the Youth and Women’s America’s Cup. A new generation of female sailors. Perhaps this is the deepest meaning of the America’s Cup coming to Naples: the meeting of a city that has long been shaped by the strength of its women and a sport that is finally learning to fully embrace it.

PEPPERINESS IN THE CASE OF AGLIANICO FROM CAMPANIA In relation to the red wine, its dominant characteristic was black pepper. Several Italian wines are known for this distinct black pepper characteristic, which is often caused by a compound called rotundone, particularly in cool-climate or high-altitude expressions, including Aglianico. The final flight of reds of the day included wines with higher levels of tannins.

THE ICONIC SETTING OF LA GRADIVA FOLLOWS FRENCH TEENS ON A TRIP TO NAPLES AND POMPEII When I went to Pompeii, I felt the poetic potency of this place, which maintains a very concrete relation with death – something that obviously and paradoxically produces a powerful sense of vitality. It's not only just Pompeii; it’s Southern Italy as a whole. Naples is a very difficult city to film because it is dense and complex; it’s a city of layers, where all eras can be seen. I felt dizzy at the idea of having to grasp and understand it. Interview with Marine Atlan, La Gradiva director | Semaine de la Critique - Cannes

THE FEAST OF SAINT PETER IN CETARA, A WORKING FISHING VILLAGE ON AMALFI COAST The key point most visitors miss is this: the Amalfi Coast is not one place. It is thirteen separate towns, each with its own history and purpose. Positano grew wealthy through silk. Amalfi was a maritime republic. Cetara still depends on fishing. Passing through in a single day means missing what actually matters. Slow Travel on the Amalfi Coast — From Positano to Cetara - Love Italy | Substack

"MORE CHAOS THAN EVER IN NAPLES WITH THE POPE ARRIVING" But as ever a good chaos. This was inside the Duomo. Then up to the roof to walk around the top — Naples' Cathedral Rooftop — which only opened last month and then to a library which opened this month where I gasped out loud, and then to a new bar in the Sanità (obvs) and then Ciro’s new little take away stall.
