About RavelloRavello was founded by the Roman aristocracy, and soon became a very wealthy and powerful town between the 10th and 13th centuries. Ravello, like Amalfi, owed its prosperity to extensive commerce throughout the Mediterranean, and to its strong textile industry (wool and cotton). The wonderful sunny climate and great views have charmed the likes of Wagner, DH Lawrence and Boccaccio in the past and each summer the town maintains a well balanced program of musical and cultural events.
