In winter, Positano transforms into a place of extraordinary peace, far from the bustling tourist activity that defines it during the summer months. The streets, teeming with visitors in high season, empty out, giving way to tranquility and silence.
The photographs of Pasquale Cocorullo, a local hospitality professional with a passion for photography, capture this unique atmosphere, offering a visual journey through charming corners and breathtaking views. The images, which include glimpses of picturesque alleys, endless sea vistas, and architectural details immersed in nature, tell the story of Positano's authentic beauty.
The absence of the usual flow of tourists highlights the intimate relationship between the village and its residents. Most businesses are closed, some for vacation and others for necessary maintenance ahead of the next tourist season. Yet, this pause lends the town a new dimension: an experience of genuine contemplation for those fortunate enough to live or visit during this period.
The photos by Pako, as he is affectionately known by Positano's locals, reveal the magic of often-overlooked details. The reflections of the winter sun on the sea, the pastel-colored houses standing out against the clear sky, and the bougainvillea plants that continue to bloom, defying the cold. The scenery is completed by solitary walks along the trails, where the only sounds are the wind or the waves crashing against the shore.
"Winter in Positano is a special moment, an opportunity to see the town in a different light—more intimate and genuine. The beauty doesn't fade; it simply changes its face," shared a tourist deeply in love with this vertical city.
This is the Positano that often escapes the spotlight: the one lived daily by its residents and the few visitors privileged enough to explore it far from the hectic rhythms of tourism. It is a place that invites you to slow down, observe, and appreciate the details, turning every corner into a small work of art.
