The Chiunzi pass is a pass in the Lattari Mountains that connects the Nocerino-Sarnese countryside with the Amalfi coast through the municipalities of Sant'Egidio del Monte Albino and Tramonti. Since ancient times, the pass has been an important communication route between the hinterland and the sea, even if the road, which connected it to the valley floor, was little more than a mule track (Via Mandrino - Sant'Egidio del Monte Albino) , known as the via delle tramontane. Confirming the strategic nature of the route, the pass is garrisoned by an imposing Norman tower, still in an excellent state of conservation, which may have been used both for military reasons (watch tower or garrison), and for fiscal reasons (customs post) .

Pass located between Sant'Egidio del monte albino and Tramonti, towns to visit and experience for their territory and their culture. Personally, I reached the pass once from Ravello and once from Corbara on the occasion of the 2023 Giro d'Italia.
