There were no central piazza and no tight clusters of houses.
This earned Furore the name of the village that doesn’t exist.
It was then the mayor decided it was time to put his tiny comune on the map.

Furores main attraction is the so-called fjord or Fiordo.
A cluster of old fishermen’s houses cling to the cliffs.
The fjord is also the oldest part of Furore.
The main village now stands 300 meters above, in the upper Vallone del Furore.
The fjord is bypassed by an arch bridge over which a state road passes.
The 30 meters high bridge is also the location where every summer the International Diving Championship is held.
The local authorities have made the fiord into an appealing tourist spot.
