I was born and raised in Positano, on the Amalfi Coast. I will take you with me to discover the path that everyone knows as "Path of Gods": one of the most spectacular views in southern Italy. I will show you, however, that this was much more for my ancestors: one of the pedestrian arteries that gave access to property and people before the construction of the road that connects Sorrento to Vietri. In this walk there is the possibility to meet local farmers and breeders enjoying genuine products. We will talk about the local flora and fauna, the use of wild herbs in the culinary and phytotherapeutic fields. The leitmotiv of the walk will be the complete opening of the senses to the perception of the surrounding environment, the deepening of the traditions and customs of my country.
