Mount Faito is the "mountain on the sea", or rather the gulfs (Naples and Salerno). It is a real treasure of biodiversity protected by the Lattari Mountains Regional Park. Beyond the forest cover there is the priceless descent to Santa Maria del Castello, which is a little hamlet between the internationally famed Positano down below and the prosperous Vico Equense.
