How to Say ‘I love the Amalfi Coast.’ in Italian
Amo la Costiera Amalfitana.
AH-moh lah kohs-TYEH-rah ah-mahl-fee-TAH-nah
[AH-moh lah kohs-TYEH-rah ah-mahl-fee-TAH-nah]
💬 Usage Tip: Italian names the coast with an adjective made from the town, Amalfitana "of Amalfi", rather than saying di Amalfi. It ends in -a to match feminine Costiera; the same habit gives la Riviera Ligure "the Ligurian Riviera".
🇮🇹 In Italy: Around Naples and Salerno, people often just say la Costiera "the Coast" and everyone knows which one. Using it shows you're tuned in locally.
