Quote

“We ate at Torre Annunziata, first feasting on the sea.
The day was extremely beautiful, the view of Castell a Mare and Sorrento close and delicious.
The company felt so right at home,
some said that it should not be possible to live without the sight of the sea.
It is enough for me that I have the image in my soul,
and I may now occasionally return to the mountainous region. "

- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe : Italian trip , March 13, 1787.
