About Scacciaventi

CAMILLA BORGODEA, American, photographer by profession and writer by passion, is the young granddaughter of Italian emigrants. One day, a letter from ITALY invites her to fly across the ocean and visit a quiet village among the hills of the AMALFI COAST, where she has inherited an old farmhouse with a lemon grove. A short trip turns into an exciting adventure that offers her a new opportunity: LIVING IN ITALY. And she settles there, in that strip of land, between the hills and the sea... Starting from CAVA DE’ TIRRENI, in the province of SALERNO, CAMILLA explores those places every day where nature seems to have truly enjoyed itself: from AMALFI to POSITANO, from MAIORI to ATRANI, climbing up to RAVELLO and descending again to PRAIANO. At every corner, a new spectacle appears: a lemon grove and the waves crashing against the rocks, a tangle of houses clinging to the hill, and a solitary tower standing tall. And then the scents, the flavors, and the pleasant conversations with the locals: “Lemons should be picked when they are not yet fully ripe…” – “The whole cocoa bean is processed by hand.” TRADITION AND EXPERIMENTATION: this is the recipe that links the CONFETTONI to LIMONCELLO, the CARAMELIZED WITH FIOR DI SALE to LEMON, THE BITTER LEMON. A rich panorama of taste and scents gathered under the name and face of CAMILLA.Read their story
