In Sant\u2019Agnello<\/strong><\/a>, above the beautiful “La Marinella” beach<\/strong>, overlooking the sea, it is possible to admire Villa Crawford, which was, in fact, owned by the American writer Francis Marion Crawford<\/strong>, who chose to live there from 1885, the year of his marriage.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the history of the city, this villa has played a fundamental role, since it was the main meeting place of the cultural environment of the time<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Initially a modest farmhouse surrounded by a large garden<\/strong>, Villa Crawford immediately become a favourite place for the writer, who made it wonderful and an inspiration for many of his literary works.<\/p>\n

The highlight certainly is the breathtaking view<\/strong> that can be admired from here: you can see the Gulf of Naples, the magnificent Vesuvius and the islands of Ischia, Procida and Capri on the horizon<\/strong><\/p>\n

But let’s see, in detail, what to see at Villa Crawford …<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The characteristic elements are certainly the buttresses<\/strong>, built at the behest of Crawford to prevent any landslides of the coast<\/strong> and to favour sighting of the building from the sea<\/strong>. Precisely for these reasons, the writer had the words “In Tempestate Securitas<\/em>” carved.<\/p>\n

Other details are the wonderfully inlaid wooden panels, made by the Sorrento craftsman Giovanni Massa<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
