Planning notes for Amalfi
Amalfi is located in the Campania region of Italy, situated within the province of Salerno. Historically, the town served as the capital of the Duchy of Amalfi, a maritime republic that reached its peak between 839 and approximately 1131. During this period, Amalfi was a significant Mediterranean trade hub, facilitating exchange between Byzantine, Arab, and Western European territories. It is notable for the "Tabula de Amalpha," one of the earliest maritime legal codes.
