IL RITROVO WITH GIOVANNI CARRASSI

Giovanni Carrassi, or the mayor of Positano as I refer to him, holds a dear place in my heart. I have been lucky enough to watch Giovanni grow from a vibrant young boy to a brilliant and endearing man. Currently, he runs his family business, Ceramica Assunta, in Positano featuring a vast array of beautiful ceramics all handpainted by the locals. 

On this month's Il Ritrovo, Giovanni and his family take us on a live tour of the Amalfi Coast guiding us from the Li Galli Islands to the center of Positano. We invite you to follow along with us as Giovanni and I share our favorite shops, local eateries, and places to stay. Plus, a few celebrity sightings!

"To me, Positano will always be a village of color, of smiles and relaxation, a place to dream and have dreams come true."

Secret trysts are kept secret and new lovers are oblivious to others. It is where all people greet you with warmth and courtesy - because it is a fascination come true - a place of peace and accord.
