The beauty of the Amalfi Coast never ceases to amaze, but there are moments when nature seems to outdo itself. This is the case with this stunning aerial shot, taken at dawn by Vietri-born photographer and entrepreneur Carlo De Felice, capturing the magic of the first light of day as it gently touches the coastline.

The photograph captures not only a landscape but also an atmosphere, a unique emotion that only the Amalfi Coast can offer.
