Maiori (originally in Latin: Rheginna Maior) is a town and comune on the Amalfi coast in the province of Salerno (Campania, Italy).
It has been a popular tourist resort since Roman times, with the longest unbroken stretch of beach on the Amalfi coastline.
[citation needed] Between 830 and 840, the towns of the coast between Lettere and Tramonti and Cetara and Positano, including the island of Capri, united to form a confederation of states later known as the Duchy of Amalfi.
[citation needed] Around 1000 it became part of the Principality of Salerno, and then of the Kingdom of Naples, of which it followed the history until the 19th century.
In the mid-20th century, Roberto Rossellini filmed some of his films here: Paisà (1946); "Il Miracolo" ("The Miracle"), the second episode of the movie L'Amore (Ways of Love, 1948); La macchina ammazzacattivi (Machine to Kill Bad People, 1952); and Il viaggio in Italia (Journey to Italy, 1953).
