Hi Laura, compliments on a terrific and fascinating article. One of my older neighbors in Atrani- he’s in his 80’s & still transports goods. He told me his father and grandfather were also in the transportation business, transporting goods on the coast. He shared stories from his father and grandfather. Talked about the road originally being used by horse drawn transportation, as the car wasn’t even invented until 1883, But became more familiar in the 1900s. He told me it could take up to a full day to get from Atrani to Salerno with a horse drawn cart. Thanks for sharing the article. So interesting. 💕
Fascinating history!
Wonderful. I can imagine the English visitors on the Grand Tour struggling to somehow get to Positano and being gone for years.
