Amalfi

Amalfi is a town of Roman and it was the first Italian Marine Republic.

After the fall of the Roman empire, it was the first city to re-establish trade between the East and West, transforming and introducing exotic products such as carpets, coffee, paper and spice into Italy.

It even had its own currency: the tari.

It was the patria homeland of Flavio Gioia, who invented the compass and provided navigators with the famous book on the law of the sea called "Tabula de Amalfa".
