Once upon a time...
|
Once upon a time there was a little settlement strung out along the scenic Amalfi coastline. Travellers would admire the view but overlook the village, which earned the name of the ‘village which didn’t exist.’
Then a go-ahead major decided it was time to put his tiny commune on the map. He ordered every house to be brightly painted so they couldn’t escape the sight of travellers passing down the road. His goal was to give his village a unique identity. Furore became ‘il Paese Dipinto’; the painted village. Every September artists from around the world are invited to a festival to add to the murals now decorating local buildings. These colourful affairs are inspired by the beautiful settings and even the railings and lamp posts are decorated in bizarre and bright colours. Few passers by could now fail to notice Furore – with a character all its own. Furore; n 1 public outburst 2 a sudden widespread enthusiasm 3 to rave
