Let Travel Italian Style help you experience the Amalfi Coast the way the Hollywood stars do!
One of the most famous movie adaptions ever filmed in the Italian Amalfi Coast region is “The Talented Mr. Ripley”. Based on the 1955 novel with the same name, this 1999 American thriller is about a struggling young man named Tom Ripley who lives in New York City and has exceptional talents in lying and impersonation. His characteristics get him an opportunity to travel to Italy with the purpose of convincing the son of a wealthy American businessman to go back home…
The story picks up from there and Ripley shows his true capabilities as a sociopath. The movie stars some well-known Hollywood actors and actresses as Matt Damon, Jude Law, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Cate Blanchett. It was also nominated for the 1999 Academy Awards in five categories.
The breathtaking coastline and the historic city shots, alongside the powerful plot of the movie create a strong desire for the viewers to experience the food and the activities while listening to the same music, in the same places on their own.
Now, the good news is that we at Travel Italian Style offer you a pick to all these beautiful one-of-a-kind locations in our exclusive Amalfi Coast tour. Check out our photos at the bottom from our 2015 Amalfi Coast tour! With us, you will get to sail on the waters of the exotic Ischia Island, as did Tom (Matt Damon), Dickie (Jude Law), Marge (Gwyneth Paltrow), and Freddie (Philip Seymour Hoffman), right after the boys got back home from Rome, walk trough the historic streets of Procida Island, where the town scenes are filmed, and maybe even witness the Festival of the Madonna!
Bonus: Upon Tom Ripley’s arriving in Italy for the first time, a piece of music, “Italia”, plays in the background that beautifully captures the characters emotions at the moment. You can find the link here!
