A day at the seaside among legendary beaches and secret bays
Crystal-clear sea, splendid views, excellent food: it’s no coincidence that during the Roman Empire, ancient patrician families chose the Amalfi coast as a summer retreat. Nerano in particular, a link between the Amalfi and Sorrento coasts, an unspoilt bay of coloured pebbles and turquoise sea, is a dream destination for those who want to escape the sometimes suffocating city everyday life.
Even just a weekend is enough to regenerate, because Nerano is like a painting made up of a thousand colours capable of capturing the heart of those who visit it, even if only for a short stop. Nerano is a picturesque village perched on a coastline that plunges into the Tyrrhenian Sea which offers the possibility of living many exciting experiences in the name of the dolce vita. Churches and villas to visit welcome tourists amidst the scents of the Mediterranean maquis. Small fjords hidden among the promontories, such as Crapolla, and beaches set among the rocks gave rise to world-famous legends.
For a day of total relaxation in comfort Conca del Sogno is the perfect place to stay. The Beach Club, which includes a renowned restaurant, is a precious and secluded place, standing out on a cliff emerging from the sea. The landscape in which the structure is immersed evokes the charm of past eras and the small Li Galli archipelago, once home to Rudolf Nureyev, stands out on the horizon, opening the doors to a naturalistic paradise of unique beauty. After a typical Campanian lunch, you can relax on the small beach below, ideal for those who want to stay away from more crowded bays. Reading a good book immersed in the unspoilt nature of an enchanted place like Nerano is a dream that can easily come true.
Bags and raffia ballerina shoes: Capri Look by Ballerì celebrates the summer in Campania with style
Who has never wanted to spend at least one day on these dream beaches and show off an outfit that is special, comfortable, chic and ready to be admired? The garments and accessories in Ballerì’s Capri Look line offer many interesting combinations for moments to be experienced and remembered forever.
Raffia, the prominent material of the collection, gives freshness to the bags, buckets and slippers of this line designed to elegantly spend moments of relaxation and desire for discovery. Becoming very popular in 2019, natural raffia is obtained from a variety of African palms whose processing creates a fascinating weave of fibres that is a direct reminder of summer and its colours. For Ballerì, the strength of elegance lies in its essentiality, and Ballerì’s raffia bags, thanks to their neat and linear design, are suitable for holding everything you need for a day away from the city.
All the buckets and bags in the Capri Look line are handmade in Florence: they are produced in natural raffia with precious grosgrain linings, they are an easy-to-match accessory for a perfect look even on the beach. Sorrento lemons are the precious embroideries that embellish the Tragara and Procida models: the first is a capacious summer straw bag, the second a bucket bag with a lining available in two colours, black or white.
Alma slippers complete the combination in the best way possible, for a perfect day by the sea among the beauties of Nerano. Fresh and comfortable, they are the ideal model for those who prefer closed shoes to sandals and are perfect with Ballerì beachwear or light, essential clothing for beach life. The natural raffia makes them resistant and lightweight, while the embroidery of Sorrento lemons enriches the upper with that iconic symbol that makes the Capri Look collection instantly recognisable. Alma is a comfortable slipper, whose strictly pointed shape makes this model elegant but also very versatile. Walking in the sunshine through the streets of Nerano with a pair of Alma slippers on your feet is the apotheosis of dolce vita, of refinement enclosed in a simplicity of shapes and colours.
Lemons and more lemons! The bright yellow of Sorrento’s most famous symbol also appears on Vietri hair bands, available in various colours and patterns. The white version with Sorrento lemons and black polka dots is a triumph of style and elegance, a dive into the most glamorous past. It is a useful accessory for securing a chignon or ponytail without ever going unnoticed, even on the beach.
