Minori is a comune in the province of Salerno, in the Campania region of south-western Italy. As a part of the Amalfi Coast, it was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997. An ancient seaside resort of Roman high society, as evidenced by the discovery of a patrician villa dating back to the 1st century, it has today evolved into a popular tourist destination for its natural landscapes and its culinary tradition. For the latter reason it is also nicknamed `City of Taste` or `Eden of the Amalfi Coast`. The origin of the name, Minori (meaning `small`), comes from its association with the river flowing through it, namely La Rheginna. The ancient Latin name for the town was indeed Rheginna Minor, and the neighboring town of Maiori – meaning `large` – was once known as Rheginna Maior because of the same association. Eventually, the names of both towns were abbreviated, Rheginna Minor turning into Minori. We visited Minori on our daytrip on the Amalfi Drive in the spring of 2023.
