Amalphi has it's own Duomo, some 57 steps up to the entry. The inlaid marble was colorful and a signature we found in the churches of southern Italy, as were nine--count 'em--nine side alters to the blessed virgin. St Andrew's bones are supposedly interred at this church. While the painting of St Andrew behind the main alter perhaps eclipsed the crucifix, the statue of St Andrew in the crypt was incredibly moving.
