Salita San Lorenzo del Piano

The Salita San Lorenzo del Piano is a narrow, steep stone staircase that slices directly into the dense vertical fabric of Amalfi. It is defined by its deep, shaded tunnel-like passages created by the buildings leaning overhead. Centuries ago, these cramped stone arteries allowed residents to navigate the cliffside city far above the main thoroughfare. A local stonemason named Giovanni once spent his entire life maintaining these precise steps to ensure that heavy loads of lemons could still reach the markets below.
