FIGIAKASTA

Simondo Sismondi tells us that from this time onwards the word Figiakasta, a desire for figs, a figurative expression for an ardent longing, was incorporated into the Icelandic tongue, the idiom of ancient Scandinavia. 

The coast at Minori and Majori is the most beautiful of all that the shores of the Gulf of Salerno, Amalfi and Sorrento have to offer.

The enchanted solitude captivates the imagination, and probably in the mind of every traveller arises the longing to dwell, or at least to spend a summer here; and the visitant from Northern lands becomes acquainted with the meaning of the word Figiakasta.
