Sunsets in Acciaroli, my special place

There is the place where you were born, that fate has established for you.

That small portion of the planet where you spend your childhood, you create your habits, you always come back, even after a long journey, find friends and family.
In short, your home, that place where you planted your roots and from which nobody can ever uproot them.

If you are lucky, however, during our life, you will find at least one other place that will make you feel like you are at home, or even better. You could get there after traveling the world far and wide, but also just in a moment and discover it exactly around the corner. That is your second home, your special place.

You will immediately understand that this is the right place, because it will almost seem like you have always been there and you will have the feeling of never wanting to go away from there.
It will be the only place that won't make you miss home and where you will immediately return as soon as you have the opportunity.

It's not necessarily the most beautiful city in the world or the funniest...maybe even the most peaceful. It is simply a space in which we feel good, with people, with the environment, with ourselves.

I too have found my second home and this is a small seaside village, Acciaroli.

In this post, I will not give you the description as a tourist guide, nor will I explore it for you, but I will reveal to you how magical this corner of Cilento in southern Italy is to me.

Then, many words will not be needed...I will let the photos of the Acciaroli sunsets speak and I'm sure that I will be able to convey my emotion to you.

My sentimental bond with this land is profound and was born almost 20 years ago, when I was there for the first time. I immediately felt good, I felt a sense of protection and well-being.

Fate has done a lot. Here I met for the first time Alessandra, the girl who would later become my wife. She lived in my own city, yet I had never seen her before. This is also her special place, even before it was mine, because she has been going there since she was born and has always been in love with it.

The sea, which I love, was certainly important. I like summer, the sun and being outdoors. Good air and nature. Well, here's all of this.

But meanwhile, as you read, you see photos of sunsets one after the other. And yes, because this is my favorite moment in my favorite place.
Because in Acciaroli, sunsets are works of art of immense beauty. They are the door from which you can peek at paradise.

I always liked to stay on the beach until late, wait for all the people to go and enjoy this show...I will have seen dozens, maybe hundreds.

Yet, every time there is something different, I remain enchanted in front of those new colors that I never thought I could grasp.
I like to follow the last moment when the sun goes down, when fire and water meet and the magic takes place definitively.

I really hope to see many more, to make my children experience this emotion too, hoping that they too will find their special place one day.

Thanks to all of you for reading my article.
