The   guide and   driver    will meet you at your hotel and   you will reach   Amalfi, an old maritime republic, for a visit to the historical centre . Amalfi founded an imposing hospital in Jerusalem which could contain 2000 beds and which gave birth, in 1112, thanks to Brother Gerardo Sasso from Scala, to the first military and religious Order called at first the Knights of St.John, then the Knights of Cyprus, of Rhodes and, in 1530, of Malta, still existing today. The Knights fought repeatedly against the Saracens and, in 849, they defended Rome and the Church in the famous battle of Ostia.
Then we will stop to admire the sea village of Positano from the top of a hill. One of most elegant and well-known health-resorts of the Amalfi Coast and has ancient origins, because it was founded by the fugitives of Paestum, escaped from the Saracens. Situated in an enchanting position, Positano was a favourite destination for great artists such as Pablo Picasso and Paul Klee, and illustrious personages of culture such as Rossellini, Toscanini, Bernstein, Steinbeck and Pirandello.
