Southern
Italy travel video
This travel video is a
75 minutes presentation of a trip in Southern Italy. Our intention was to
show an interesting and pretty intense itinerary that we were able to cover
in about 5 days. We wanted to shoot a travelog, a long form documentary about
this particular trip making it different from the regular documentaries you
may see on TV. We covered a lot of ground in the narration associated with
the film: from history to architecture and traditions we tried as much as
possible to approach most of the issues you encounter in such a trip.
The travel video is the result
of a lot of research and documentation we did before we left there, but also
of a lot of information we got on site, talking to people or listening to
the stories coming from the locals. We shot a lot of footage and we ended
up editing it to make a very pleasant and attractive presentation.
If you have any intention
to visit these areas or other parts of Southern Italy, or if you know for
sure that you will never get there, watching this film will bring you the
experience of being half there. To do the trip we rented a small Fiat and
we drove around the island of Sicily and latter we crossed the Messina strait
into the continent. We enjoyed driving around the southern coasts of Italy
and we stopped in Matera, a city dug in stone. From there we drove to Salerno,
the endpoint of Costiera Amalfitana, the beautiful road that follows the coast
starting in Napoli. We visited the impressive art and archeological collections
of the Napoli museums, we visited Paestum, one of the largest Greek colony
in Magna Grecia, and we lost ourselves in Pompei. After that, we took a boat
and visit the island of Capri and the charming city of Anacapri and we barely
were able to catch a boat back to Sorento to spend there the New Year. The
next day we took an amazingly beautiful ride on Costiera Amalfitana, to Positano,
Amalfi and Ravello.
The Southern Italy travel video DOES NOT contain any information about
Sicily.
In comparison with Sicily, the
moment you get around Napoli, you will be surrounded by tourists no matter
what time of the year you go. The prices for the accommodation are lower ,
the competition being pretty steep, and the food is still good being a major
highlight of the trip.
