Hidden among the alleys of Amalfi, the fountain of Cape ‘e Ciucci tells stories of times gone by. Built in the 18th century, its name evokes the donkeys (ciucci) that once came down from Pogerola loaded with fruit, vegetables and wood, stopping here to drink. But according to another version, the origin of the name is linked to an ancient carved mask.
Since 1974, the fountain has hosted a unique nativity scene: figures immersed in water, carved in the tuff stone smoothed by the streams of the Valle dei Mulini.

This fountain is located in a small square and contains a landscape that has been recreated with great attention to detail. It's worth seeing!
