The legend says that Positano was founded by the god Neptune, as a sign of love for the nymph Pasitea, at which he donated this charming and beautiful place as a pledge of love.
It does not know exactly the origin of the name Positano. Some studios claim that Positano is a derivation of the name of Paestum because the inhabitants of this village moved to Positano in order to escape from the pirates, while another version says that the name Positano derives from a repeating voce which repeats “posa posa” to the sailors who carried a picture of the Holy Lady on their ship during a storm. When the sailors stopped in the bay of Positano the storm ended.
It is only in the twentieth century that Positano has begun to be known by the Germans, British and Americans. Although at the beginning of the tourist ‘rise’ of Positano, main visitors formed a narrow elite, formed by artists and intellectuals who, inspired by the beauty of the place, have composed here many masterpieces.
