Amalfi is a town and comune in the province of Salerno, in the region of Campania, Italy, on the Gulf of Salerno, c. 35 km southeast of Naples. It lies at the mouth of a deep ravine, at the foot of Monte Cerreto (1,315 meters, 4,314 feet), surrounded by dramatic cliffs and coastal scenery. The town of Amalfi was the capital of the maritime republic known as the Duchy of Amalfi, an important trading power in the Mediterranean between 839 and around 1200.
In the 1920s and 1930s, Amalfi was a popular holiday destination for the British upper class and aristocracy.
Amalfi is the main town of the coast on which it is located, named Costiera Amalfitana, and is today an important tourist destination together with other towns on the same coast, such as Positano, Ravello and others. Amalfi is included in the UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
First mentioned in the 6th century, Amalfi soon afterwards acquired importance as a maritime power, trading grain from its neighbors, 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. Grain-bearing Amalfi traders enjoyed privileged positions in the Islamic ports, Fernand Braudel notes. The Amalfi tables (Tavole Amalfitane) provided a maritime code that was widely used by the Christian port cities. Merchants of Amalfi were using gold coins to purchase land in the 9th century, while most of Italy worked in a barter economy. In the 8th and 9th century, when Mediterranean trade revived it shared with Gaeta the Italian trade with the East, while Venice was in its infancy, and in 848 its fleet went to the assistance of Pope Leo IV against the Saracens.

Plot
This seven hour mini-series is based on the memories of Vittorio Mussolini, the oldest son of Italian dictator Benito Mussolini. The film opens in 1922 as Mussolini gathers his power through the use of his Black Shirt militia. Promoting himself as Caesar reincarnate, Il Duce gains a national fervor that peaks after the Italian invasion of Abyssinia (Ethiopia) in 1935. In 1938, Mussolini attempted to promote peace at a Munich conference. Nonetheless he aligned himself with Hitler and drew his country into World War II. Of course, this led to his country's downfall and his total dishonor.

In the shadow of the castle walls
Wherever those walls were
Well, you used to love to be behind those walls with her
Within these walls
Well, he watched from the corridor
Watched from the corner of his eyes
Seemingly waiting for the time
When the castle walls would all fall down
Yes, it was a strain on her
Watching her castles fall down
Oh, but there was a time when he called her angel
Where in the world did you come from?
Yes, it was a strain on her
Watching her castles fall down
Oh, but there was a time when he called her angel
Where in the world did you come from?
In the shadow of the castle walls
Wherever those walls were
In this land or in that land
Well, the castles all seem to belong to her
And all this talk about love and hate
And our separation way on down the line
Well, they just can't wait, can they?
No they just can't wait
Yes, it was a strain on her
Watching her castles fall down
Oh, but there was a time when he called her angel
Where in the world did you come from?
Yes, it was a strain on her
Watching her castles fall down
Oh, but there was a time when he called her angel
Where in the world did you come from?
There was a light that lighted the way to the chamber
Where they spent all their time, well
There was a light that lighted the way to the chamber door where
They seemed to spend all their time
Ooh my love
Ooh my love
Ooh my love
Yes, it was a strain on her
Watching her castles fall down
Oh, but there was a time when he called her angel
Where in the world did you come from?
Yes, it was a strain on her
Watching her castles fall down
Oh, but there was a time when he called her angel
Where in the world did you come from?
It was a strain on me
Hey, hey, baby no one can take you away from me, no, no one
In the shadow of the castle walls
In the shadow of the castle walls

You're a cut above the ones who say

You're a cut above
All the ones I've loved

You're a cut above the ones who take
You're the one I love and no mistake
You're a cut above but all my love's too late
All my love's too late

If you just stop and listen
Then you might hear the words
That i've been trying to tell you
I guess you never heard
There's something about you baby
I don't know what it is
Can't put my finger on it
I.o.u. my love
I'm driving to the city
Let's meet in the arcade
I show you what i'm made of
Pretend you never paid
There's something about you baby
I don't know what it is
Can't put my finger on it
I.o.u. my love
It's getting past eleven
When are you gonna come
Feels like i've waited forever
A double bed for one
There's something about you baby
I don't know what it is
Can't put my finger on it
Oh, and tell me
Was it all because I
Brought it up for
Conversation in a bed
And I wouldn't have started
Were it not for a blue appearing
Someone's trying to please somebody else
Many men are crying
God can't help but he's trying
To find more
Men like me
A women such as
You my love
Non existence seemed like
Nothing my love
And though I said I was scared to die
The end seemed so much greater
Then either side of the equator
Yea, you saved me
God was there to pass me
You my love
It happened on a Sunday
Which tells me there was no mistake
A half parted smile
You took my hand and breath away
And I wouldn't have loved you
If you would have
Answered my requesting
Someone's glad he never pleased himself
Many men are crying
God can't help but he's trying
To find more
Men like me
A women such as
You my love
Non existence seemed like
Nothing my love
And though I said I was scared to die
The end seemed so much greater
Then either side of the equator
But you saved me
God was there to pass me
You my love
And I wouldn't have started
If you would have
Answered my requesting
Someone's glad he never pleased himself
Many men are crying
God can't help but he's trying
To find more
Men like me
A women such as
You my love
Non existence seemed like
Nothing my love
And though I said I was scared to die
The end seemed so much greater
Then either side of the equator
But you saved me
God was there to pass me
You my love
To pass me you my love
Once upon a time you came by
Took me by surprise
Memories of love still alive
Together we've loved, laught and cried
Sweet like candy and brighter than the sun
I stopped searching cause there's no one like
You, my love
My only love
Everyday felt like the first one
With you
My little
You, my love
My only love
I can't help, but loving you
It's true, my only one
Gotta say, you were my best friend
And you showed me that you care
Covered my mistakes till the end
And you were always there for me
Sweet like candy and brighter than the sun
I stopped searching cause there's no one like
You, my love
My only love
Everyday felt like the first one
With you
My little
You, my love

Amo il vento che ci stuzzica
quando gioca fra i tuoi capelli
quando tu ti fai ballerina
per seguirlo con passi graziosi
Amo quando corri radiosa
per gettarti nelle mie braccia
quando ti fai piccola piccola
per sederti sulle mie ginocchia
Amo il sole che tramonta
quando si sdraia lentamente
ma amo sperare credulo
che per noi si infuocherebbe
Amo la tua mano che mi rassicura
quando mi perdo in fondo al buio
e la tua voce ha il mormorio
della sorgente della speranza
Amo quando gli occhi tuoi di bruma
mi ammantano con la tua dolcezza

I got a book
That tells my story
As I look
It's being
Written before me
Word by word
And page by page
Everything
I'll ever do
Is being displayed
Every word
Controls my feet
And even tells me
When I should speak
Whoever's writing
Is on a roll
But now my world
Is spinning right
Out of control
Oh, my life
Oh, my life
I look tomorrow
Is out of sight
Oh my life
Oh my life
Although
I'm trying
It's hard
To live right
Oh, my life (4x)
And my thoughts
Are there to see
Too late to change
Anything that's mean
If I'd a pen
I'd change some facts
But I'm scared
Of how my family
And friends will react
Oh, my life
Oh, my life
(Yeah)
And don't
I know it
It's hard
Tto live right
Oh my life

To live right
Oh, my life
Oh, my life
(Yeah)
Although
I'm trying
It's hard
To live right
You aint like a fur ride
You should let go us inside
Not gonna take the easy route
Make sure baby's got the right boots
My hands are cold and so my feet
You should get close i need some heat
Unusual to a girl like you
Usually they keep them in a zoo
Oh my love
Oh my love
You are dead to the world
You are dead to the world
You and i should try to drive
and ready to die
Deeper, deeper the truth feels hidden
I dont see why something is to be forbidden
Oh! my! love!
I have a sorrow
It never leaves me alone
Grief is a burden I can rely on
There is a place
Look for me there
There is a place
Look for me here
I'm under my willow
Crying my sad song for you
My willow a place I need
When I'm not in the mood
There is a place
Look for me here

For such a long time

Oh my love, oh my love.
It happens every third year
That I find someone to love like you.
Oh yes like you.
But I know it won´t work out well.
How go I know?
I just know!
Oh my love, oh my love.
It happens every now and then
That I dream of when we´ll have some time,
Just you and I.
But I know we never will.
But I will keep hoping oh yea I will.
Oh my love, oh my love.
It happens every time you hang up on me
I tell myself,
Oh let her be.
Oh yeah let her be.
But you know I never will.
I´ll be back time and time again.
Oh my love, oh my love, oh my love.
It happens everytime I call you my love,
You say "please don´t call me that".
But why shouldn´t I,
When I know that it will be another three years
Before I can say it and mean it again.
