Amalfi began as a maritime power, trading grain from its neighbours, salt from sardinia and slaves from the interior, and even timber, in exchange for the gold dinars minted in egypt and syria, in order to buy the byzantine silks that it resold in the west. Once an ancient maritime republic and a mediterranean naval power, it still enchants visitors today with its picturesque alleys, the majestic cathedral, and the tradition of the famous amalfi paper.
