Pizzo, Calabria, Italy

Pizzo is one of those quaint seaside towns that offers quintessential southern Italy. Imagine tiny streets, a hotchpotch of red rooftops, an abundance of ice cream parlours and sweeping blue sea views. Along Calabria’s Tyrrhenian coast and within easy distance of the famous Tropea, visit Pizzo Calabro for its historic attractions and the charming centro storico with piazza that overlooks a charming marina.

With peeling pink and yellow painted walls, cobbled streets and a vespa parked on almost every corner, the town offers all of the charm of destinations you’ll find on the Amalfi coast, yet with a fraction of the tourists. Mix into that a strong community presence all year round – it’s a popular spot with locals even outside of the summer season – and you can’t go wrong. Visit on a Sunday afternoon all year round to join the locals. You’ll find bustling streets with families wandering through the town and frequenting the gelaterias for the famous ice cream tartufo.

'What would “Ripley” be without its transfixing style, from the palpable isolation of a squalid New York apartment to the shadowy charms of ancient Italian streets?

Writer-director Steven Zaillian’s acclaimed eight-hour Netflix series isn’t merely a new adaptation of Patricia Highsmith’s enduring thriller about an American tourist in coastal southern Italy embracing deceit and murder: It’s a coolly gorgeous black-and-white pleasure bath of sights, shades and textures. Beauty with darkness. Modern touches in ancient spaces. Art for con artist’s sake.

To achieve his vision of a 1960s Italy that would sweep viewers away right along with Andrew Scott’s dangerously impressionable protagonist, Zaillian assembled a murderer’s row (ahem) of design collaborators: Oscar-winning cinematographer Robert Elswit, who’d worked with the director on the miniseries “The Night Of”; production designer David Gropman, an alum of Zaillian’s 1993 film “Searching for Bobby Fischer”; and Italian costume designers Maurizio Millenotti and Gianni Casalnuovo.

Elswit makes no bones about how important everyone’s set contributions were to the look and feel of “Ripley.” “It was such a clear ensemble of decisions based on Steve’s original ideas that we pursued for the whole [show],” he says. “We wanted to underlie the drama, be part of the storytelling, part of the emotional life of it.”

The production design

“A dream job” is how Gropman describes working on “Ripley,” starting with what Zaillian’s 400 dialogue-sparse script pages evoked, and ending with myriad locations across New York, Italy and at Rome’s fabled Cinecitta studios.

Early research led Gropman to the kinds of images that called out to be re-created. “When you’re doing Tom on the train from Cherbourg to Naples, and you pull up David Seymour’s photograph of Ingrid Bergman going from Naples to Cannes on the Orient Express, you know exactly what that train car looks like in black and white.” Another inspiring source was Piergiorgio Branzi, revered for his naturalistic postwar pictures of life in Italy. “Any photograph of his would fill a moment in [‘Ripley’].”

Months of scouting the Amalfi coast for the sleepy town holding Dickie Greenleaf’s villa led Gropman to quiet but picturesque Atrani. Three elements cinched it: The views from the road above were stunning, the piazza charmed, and what would become something of a location star for rapt viewers, “the incredible network of stairs, alleys and passageways.” The actual villa, however, was discovered in Capri, and completely outfitted in midcentury furniture and assorted antiques and artwork.

You can get to 200 locations and sets easily when a character is constantly on the move, and the norm is to crib from many places to suggest one. “For the Excelsior hotel in Rome,” says Gropman, “the exterior was the Hassler, the lobby was the Plaza, and two suites were an amazing 16th century palazzo in the middle of Rome.” And where exterior period authenticity couldn’t be counted on, CGI filled out plenty of backgrounds. “Train platforms, views out windows, and ferry docks were all big visual effects set extensions,” Gropman says.

As for what was built at Cinecitta, two favorite sets for Gropman were Tom’s New York hovel and his well-appointed, furnished Rome apartment. For every set, though, walls were never moved for the camera’s sake, “so you’re true to the claustrophobia,” says Gropman, and in the case of the dingy New York SRO, “the meanness of that space.”

Props were nearly as important, and Zaillian spent two days looking at demos. One story item, however — a Murano glass ashtray whose importance won’t be spoiled here — had already been chosen. “The ashtray is on one of Steve’s side tables at home in California,” says Gropman, laughing. “That will tell you a lot about Steve, and his ‘Ripley.’”

The cinematography

“Steve is the most meticulous, focused, precise director you could ever work with,” says Elswit of his “Ripley” writer-director. “He had a very clear concept of shooting in black and white, making a designed movie formally organized around tonal structure and graphic images.”

Elswit, who’s previously worked in black and white (“Good Night and Good Luck”), explains why cinematographers love the monochrome palette. “You can exploit the extremes between the brightest white and the blackest black. You exaggerate the contrast in their faces. You can feel it. Sense it. You really do create tension and anxiety through lighting. It’s been done since the beginning of movies.”

It’s even baked into Zaillian’s script. Ripley’s fascination with Caravaggio allowed the Italian master’s famed tenebrism — intense darkness and pockets of equally intense light — to also become a guiding aesthetic for Elswit. Caravaggio “was also obsessed with quality of light, its direction and the reality of it. Like a spotlight on what was interesting.”

Elswit says Italy’s very physicality lends itself to such extremes of light and shadow. “There’s so much texture when you’re looking at walls, streets, the surfaces of buildings, the cobblestones, stairways. It’s granite, plaster, rock, marble, whatever it is, and in black and white, it emphasizes the texture.”

Caravaggio and his era’s peers influenced the show’s look in another way. Elswit and Zaillian gave themselves an unusual rule in framing, to keep Renaissance and Baroque art’s straight-ahead perspective and avoid converging vertical lines, as would happen if a camera tilted up or down. It’s why so much of “Ripley” is a crisply edited procession of static shots, with only humans providing movement.

“That was built into every setup, indoors and out,” Elswit says. “We were going to have the picture plane parallel to the walls of structures we were shooting, always. The buildings couldn’t have converging lines. Steven wanted that formal graphic design.”

Zaillian also preferred overcast days, to avoid any sun-kissed hint of romance and warmth. But Elswit made great portentous use of a hot sky for when Ripley first encounters Dickie and Marge, lying on the gravel beach. “We had a high shot where we had Tom walk by them, and his shadow goes over them,” Elswit says. “I was thrilled. I’m not sure if Steve was at the time, but he ended up being happy with it. That was a wonderful advantage to a sunlit day!”

The costumes

Italy in the ‘60s may have been a fashion mecca, but that wasn’t how Millenotti and Casalnuovo saw the job Zaillian set out for them. “There was a focus on subtlety,” Casalnuovo wrote via email, speaking for the duo. “The costumes shouldn’t be flashy or distracting. Steve’s vision emphasized creating a sense of character and story through the clothing.”

Casting a wide net in their research — with a little over four months of pre-production time — the pair pored over photo books, archives, even vintage albums found in street markets, “searching for a nuanced understanding of the period,” Casalnuovo says. Their rummaging unearthed one socked-away trove containing unpublished pictures of everyday life in the story’s key cities. “This provided invaluable insight into the social fabric and atmosphere. This allowed us to create costumes steeped in authenticity and narrative depth.”

That meant capturing a moment when the world was turning away from formality, while areas like southern Italy still reflected class divisions. Lighter fabrics such as linen and cotton are presenting themselves, and yet the privilege Dickie Greenleaf (Johnny Flynn) represents hasn’t gone away. “Dickie’s wardrobe would be more tailored and polished. In contrast, characters of lower social standing would wear simpler, more practical clothing.”

With a black-and-white palette, however, certain scenes needed extra consideration, as when Tom Ripley’s swimsuit needed to set him apart at the beach. Highsmith wrote about a garish yellow/black checkered pair of trunks, but, says Casalnuovo, “a color contrast wouldn’t translate.” (As the final decision ultimately showed, an eye-opening fit and pattern humorously did the trick.)

Of course, when it came to Ripley overall, charting his sartorial trajectory, not surprisingly, was the designers’ most enjoyable project. “Ripley’s wardrobe is a chameleon’s act. Initially, his casual American style clashes with Dickie’s European flair. He subtly incorporates elements like polo shirts and loafers, mirroring Dickie to gain acceptance.” Getting from high-priced mimicry to Tom’s own personal style toward the end was a particular challenge, but the kind costume designers live for. “It was a process that demanded focus and a deep understanding of the character, but seeing it all come together was incredibly rewarding.”'

¡Hola, buenos días, humanidad! 🌍 ¡Feliz viernes! 🌅 😊💕Hoy os traigo la postal de Sorrento, una joya en la costa oeste de Italia, que cautiva a los visitantes con su encanto mediterráneo y vistas impresionantes. Ubicada en lo alto de acantilados que descienden hacia el mar Tirreno, la ciudad ofrece panoramas inolvidables de aguas azules y colinas tapizadas de olivos. Sus callejuelas adoquinadas serpentean entre edificios coloridos, llenos de tiendas que exhiben productos locales como limones de Sorrento y cerámica pintada a mano. La Piazza Tasso, animada y bulliciosa, es el corazón social de la ciudad, donde los cafés al aire libre invitan a los transeúntes a disfrutar de la auténtica dolce vita italiana. Los jardines de Villa Comunale, con su exuberante vegetación y bancos con vistas al Golfo de Nápoles, son un remanso de serenidad. Sorrento también sirve como puerta de entrada a la costa de Amalfi y la isla de Capri, añadiendo un toque de magia a esta perla del sur de Italia.

Para tener en cuenta...

La única persona que decide tu autoestima eres tú. No proviene de tu cuenta bancaria o del número de amigos que tengas. No proviene de lo que alguien más diga que vales. Se llama autoestima por una razón, proviene de ti. Proviene de ser tú mismo y estar orgulloso de quién eres. Proviene de ser alguien en quien puedes confiar y a quien amas. Los números cambiarán con el tiempo, pero lo que no cambiará es quién eres en lo más profundo: hermoso, ilimitado, maravilloso, creativo, fuerte y capaz, y de ahí proviene tu autoestima.

I LOVED Rome! I spent 16 days there on a pilgrimage the summer before my senior in high school (2016). The history is absolutely amazing, as well as the art and churches! Not to mention the food, oml. My husband is going to be stationed in Europe for a year so the goal is for him to get leave and we take off for Rome. 😍

What’s your favorite place, either museum or overall area, in Rome? What was your favorite thing that you ate?

(Did you visit anywhere else in Italy?)

-fighterpilothoe

@fighterpilothoe That’s awesome!!! I spent the spring semester of my sophomore year of college in Rome, back in 2014!

As a history major, especially one who adores Ancient Rome, I was definitely in my happy place while I was there. So much incredible history all around you at all times! And yes, the food is 💯💯💯

That’s really cool about your husband being stationed in Europe! I hope you guys are able to get there!

I lived in the neighborhood of Trastevere while I was in Rome and I LOVED it!!! There are so many cute piazzas and fun bars and restaurants. The food was amazing everywhere, but one of of my favorite repeat stops was a pizzeria called Dar Poeta in Trastevere. Amazing pizza and Nutella calzones! *chef’s kiss*

I did get to travel a lot during the semester, which was amazing. Within Italy, I went to Florence, Verona, Naples, Pompeii, the Amalfi Coast, Tuscany, Pisa, and Sicily!

Celebrate Rome’s birthday with me! ♥️

Mal Minori

Minori skrik vir niks. Die inwoners is luidrugtig en verdraagsaam en gemoedelik en kuierig en 'n paar baie onbeleefd. (Die tannie by die groentewinkel in die hoofstraat raas bv hewiglik met almal wat durf aan die groente vat. Die man en vrou by die kruidenierswinkel verwelkom my egter altyd asof ons ou vriende is).

Die dorp begin lewe as die son agter die berg verdwyn. Die winkeltjies maak na siesta so teen 17:00 of later, nes hul harte begeer, oop. As dit skemer is, is almal aan die kuier in die hoof voetgangerstraat, piazzas, boulevard teen die see en eetplekkies.

Die gekuier hou tot laat aan. Van 22:00 af begin die dinge eers regtig. Die kinders speel bal in die stegies; daar is optogte met orkeste ter ere van die een of ander 'saint' (en hier is baie); konserte op die trappies van die kerk en in die piazzas; sokkerwedstryde op 'n baan teen die seevront; naweek-stalletjies van 10:00 tot 1:00; die toet van ferries en busse. Eers teen 1:00 plat die gewoel af.

Minori het 'n klein lemoncello fabriek. Net die lang Sorrento suurlemoen word gebruik. Dit word baie dun afgeskil en 3 dae in alkohol gelê. Daarna word die skil afgegooi en die gegeurde alkohol gemeng met 'n suikerstroop en suiwer uitgedrukte lemoensap. Dit word gebottel en moet dan so 14 dae staan.

Minori nou en toe. Die groot fontein op die hoof plein is regs en op die ou foto, net-net sigbaar links langs die lang bootmas. Die see was tot bo teen die geboue.

Minori lewe:

Uitsig na Ravello op die berg.

Totsiens Amalfi kus!

History of the Amalfi cathedral  | Live Salermo

Amalfi Cathedral is a 9th-century Roman Catholic structure in the Piazza del Duomo, Amalfi, Italy. It is dedicated to the Apostle Saint Andrew. Predominantly of Arab-Norman Romanesque architectural style, it has been remodeled several times, adding Romanesque, Byzantine, Gothic, and Baroque elements. The cathedral includes the adjoining 9th century Basilica of the Crucifix. Leading from the basilica are steps into the Crypt of St. Andrew. 

The newer cathedral was built next to the older basilica that was built on the ruins of a previous temple. The remains of St. Andrew were reportedly brought to Amalfi from Constantinople in 1206 during the Fourth Crusade by Cardinal Peter of Capua. In 1208, the crypt was completed and the relics were turned over to the church. It said that later on Manna issued from the saint's bones.
