Undying Love - The Lovers, The Padlock, The Keys & The Mermaid
An Intensely Beautiful and Romantic Walk Betwixt Sea and Mountains.
The Ultimate in Relaxed Weddings in Italy
Italy is famous for its rivalries - Romeo & Juliet the most famous. The towns of Sapri & Maratea were no exceptions. The Legend of Lovers Walk has it that the young were warned not to "cohort" with others from the rival town. Ce
nturies ago, goes the legend, a young couple, determined to be together forever, met in the path connecting Sapri & Maratea - one of the most beautiful lovers' walk on earth - Traveler Magazine says "Maratea is Heaven - It's The Amalfi Without The Crowds.... Italy's Best Kept Secret".
The path meanders through fields of wild flowers and jagged rocks, edged by a blue sea and soaring mountains, etched with ancient Saracen Towers and towering cypress trees. They padlocked themselves to an old iron frame cast from the sea by a violent storm; and, defying elders, family, and jealous friends threw the key far into the sea. To ensure the key would never be found, a beautiful mermaid plucked it from the sea, and lies guard over it, even today, on the nearby Isola dello Scialandro - see deserted mermaid island.
In 2015
the mayor of Sapri revived the legend. At the end of the ceremony on Lovers Walk, he had Danny & Kristin connect forever a padlock to a bench at waters wedge, and throw the key far into the sea - and watch, hopefully, the mermaid will deliver it back to her deserted island.
The mayor and the mermaid hope this padlock and key will not only ensure lasting love; but, will always be there to connect couples, their hearts and souls to the incomparable Sapri and The Coast of Maratea (now quite harmonious) - and the legendary Lovers Walk.
Ensure an undying love! Continue the legend! And, have that relaxed and memorable wedding with the keys, the padlock & the mermaid.
Update - In 2015, the town installed a metal tree sculpture for couples to attach their engraved padlocks "in perpetuity". Blair and Victor of Charleston, SC were the first couple to attach their "undying love" padlock.
