Villae d’otium della Penisola sorrentino-amalfitana. Un confronto tra la Villa San Marco a Stabiae e la Villa marittima di Minori in Costiera Amalfitana

A comparative analysis of two ancient coastal villas—Villa San Marco near Stabiae and the maritime villa in Minori on the Amalfi Coast—reveals how architectural design adapts to distinct landscape and geomorphological conditions. The study highlights that while both villas share common architectural roots, their structures diverge significantly based on local terrain and accessibility constraints. Villa San Marco, situated on Varano Hill with proximity to Stabiae, reflects a more integrated relationship with its urban context, whereas the isolated villa in Minori, historically accessible only by sea, exhibits unique adaptations to its coastal setting. This research underscores the influence of site-specific factors on the evolution of non-urban architectural complexes along the Campanian coast.
