Nestled along Italy's picturesque Amalfi Coast, in the bustling port town of Salerno, the Madonnina del Porto rises—a luminous symbol of tranquility and hope. This golden sentinel keeps a vigilant watch over the harbor, her radiant figure etching a stark contrast against the mesmerizing blues of the Tyrrhenian Sea. It's like a scene straight out of a Fellini movie - all it needs is a soundtrack by Nino Rota.
Venture along the port jetty and you'll find a tapestry of textured stones laid out like nature's Lego, inviting you to explore the interplay of geometric shapes and stark contrasts.

This photo was taken on the jetty near Madonnina del Porto in Salerno.
Starting from Rome, take a high-speed train from Roma Termini to Salerno, a journey that typically lasts about two hours. The Italian countryside will unfold before your eyes, from verdant vineyards to rolling hills. Once in Salerno, you'll find that the town is very walkable.
Head southeast towards the city center until you reach Lungomare Trieste, a charming promenade that lines the waterfront. Follow it west, and soon you'll see the harbor, a hive of activity with fishing boats and yachts. Standing tall amidst this maritime bustle, make your way to the GPS coordinate on the port's Jetty.
