The UNESCO World Heritage Site Amalfi Coast is threatened by a motorcade. Almost 4,000 people live in places like Positano on the Amalfi Coast. In summer, thousands of tourists come there - every day. Tour buses every ten minutes.
The picturesque coastal road has become a curse for the locals. We are talking about the world-famous Strade Statale 163 between Meta di Sorrento and Vietri sul Mare.
