Those working here really have fun drawing in the crowds and entertaining! Which is why the store is often crowded, but just stay a few minutes and it will empty before filling up again.

My suitcase is already too heavy and I have 10 more days and many other places on the Amalfi coast and Rome to visit! Not to despair, you can order online.
