Positano, Campania, Italy, 6th June.






Positano has been featured in several films, including Only You (1994), starring Marisa Tomei and Robert Downey Jr., and Under the Tuscan Sun (2003), starring Diane Lane. It also hosts the annual Cartoons on the Bay Festival, at which Pulcinella awards for excellence in animation are presented. From July of 1967 and through most of the 1970s, Positano was home of singer-songwriter Shawn Phillips and was where most of his best known work was composed. His song "Landscape" recounts a taxi ride through Positano.
It is said that today, Positano is considered one of the most chic destinations in Europe. Two of its hotels, Il San Pietro and Le Sirenuse, are frequently cited as among the best in the world.
