Positano, and the story the town repeats

Positano, Italy. Stacked houses over the water, one road that bites deep. Frame pulled at street level.

The story the town repeats: the Madonna Nera, 'posa, posa', the icon that calmed the sea when pirates tried to carry it off. I keep it framed as the most told version, not as record.

What I checked: the church of Santa Maria Assunta, its majolica dome, the Byzantine icon dated to around the 13th century. Steinbeck wrote in 1953 that Positano bites deep. That part held.
