Campania, Italy

---

Furore is a small village on the Amalfi Coast in Campania, Italy, famous for its dramatic fjord, the Fiordo di Furore, where a narrow gorge cuts steeply inland from the sea with old fishermen’s houses clinging to the cliffs.

Known as "the town that doesn’t exist" for its unique dispersed layout without a central square, Furore is renowned for its colorful murals painted on buildings, part of an annual festival that brings artists from around the world. The village has a rich medieval history, once serving as a small fortress under Amalfi’s rule, and it features historical churches such as San Giacomo Apostolo with frescoes and the Gothic-Romanesque San Michele.

The surrounding area offers walks along the Sentiero degli Dei trail and the nearby Marisa Cuomo winery is well known for its innovative wines grown on the terraced slopes. Furore blends natural beauty, artistic culture, rich history, and excellent local cuisine centered on fresh fish and seafood, making it a captivating destination on the Amalfi Coast.​
