Vietri sul Mare

Vietri sul Mare is the first town on the Amalfi Coast coming from Salerno, which is only three kilometres away. 

Famous for its ceramic industry, Vietri sul Mare is a small seaside resort with a Marina and a beach where two prominent rocks are known as “The Brothers”.  The town has numerous bars and restaurants, many serving the seafood dishes which typify the Amalfi Coast cuisine.

The local ceramic industry was started in the late Renaissance period , thanks to the Sanseverino family and since then has flourished and  been a symbol of Vietri sul Mare. 

This background and the availability of high quality raw materials have seen the growth of many local crafts and businesses related to ceramics.

For example the Ceramic of Solimene where even the factory “Ceramica Artistica Solimene”, designed by Paolo Soleri, is a work of art.

The local crafts frequently incorporate the colours of the sun, sea and lemons so typical of Vietri sul Mare and the Amalfi Coast. The brushwork applied and the use of glaze developed by the master potters and handed down to younger generations
