Furore

Furore is a commune on the Amalfi Coast that extends from sea level to about 250 meters in elevation. Steep cliffs dominate the landscape, and the Fiordo di Furore fjord creates a natural inlet that shapes the settlement.

The settlement began as a small fishing village and grew over centuries while maintaining its traditional Mediterranean character. Its connection to the sea shaped its development and identity throughout history.

The houses throughout the town display colorful murals that turn streets into an open-air gallery of local artistic expression. These paintings reflect the creativity and identity of the community in a way that visitors see as soon as they arrive.

The town sits along a coastal road between neighboring villages and connects by bus to larger cities in Campania. Those exploring on foot should expect steep paths and uneven terrain throughout the area.

The area consists of three separate districts: Cicala, Ciuccio, and Gatta, each maintaining its own distinct character and layout. This spatial division allows for different experiences depending on where you explore.
