A morning drive down the Sorrentine coast opens the day: sea-light on the Tyrrhenian, lemon groves slipping past the window, and the minivan cutting inland toward the broad plain that holds Paestum. You arrive to Doric columns that rise steady and severe against an open sky; wind moves through the stone as if reminding you this was once a Greek city facing the sea.
