Marechiaro

In ancient times the village, developed around via Marechiaro, took its name from the church of Santa Maria del Faro.

The name Marechiaro does not come, as is commonly thought, from the transparency of the waters of the sea of Posillipo, but from their quietness.

[1] It was in the 1960s one of the symbols of the dolce vita in Italy, becoming famous for its Hollywood frequentations, for its typical restaurants overlooking the splendid panorama of the gulf and for the characteristic "Scoglione".

[2] From Marechiaro you can also admire the panoramic view of the entire city of Naples, of the Vesuvius, up to the Sorrento Peninsula and the island of Capri that appears exactly in front of the typical little beach of the village.

Today the window still exists, and there is always a fresh carnation on the windowsill, as well as a celebratory plaque in white marble engraved with some notes of the score of the song and the names of the authors.
