Thirteen small villages set in a lush green valley. Cloud of houses that surround pretty churches, the memory of that time was. Paths which are lost in landscapes of incomparable beauty.

Thirteen towns with many parishes, spread over uneven floors, are the territory of TRAMONTI, the place takes its name from its morphological configuration, "intra montes," or land between the mountains.

The origins of the town are not certain. According to the historian Room "The history is silent about the early inhabitants of Tramonti, although not without foundation we can give the origin of this village to Picentini expelled and scattered, which were torn and dispelled by the Romans, were forced to seek shelter in nearby villages ", the same idea is also the historic Cerasuolo, who said that Tramonti to have originated from the combination of Picentini, Etruscans and other peoples.

Taking cue from what the report by reporter Andrea Mola Tramonti, the aboriginal inhabitants of Sunsets were united in the consortium by the Romans, founders of Amalfi and Scala, built for safety reasons, on the western side of the village Cesarano, whose foundation is dates back to IV-V century a. C. This village was for a long time propugnacolo main Tramonti, and had to support the war against the principles and Durazzeschi Aragonese of Naples. The population was gradually increasing, is around the same place which was divided into villages. Even its emblem is allusive: three mountains surmounted by rising moon.

In ancient medieval writings were found news about the existence of other villages (which took its name from the most important families of the place), in addition to the thirteen that constitute the current territory.

Sunsets, like other countries of the coast, can not be considered separately from the town of Amalfi, in fact it came at the height of its grandeur through a long labor of evidence of struggle, of victories, which also contributed to several neighboring forces . Sunsets also had an important part in the rise of the republic of Amalfi, so we will find involved with the coastal defending the town of Amalfi against Lombard Arechi II, against the ambitious Sicardo until Amalfi freeing themselves from the domination of the Duke of Naples, I December 839, and the proclamation of the republic, began the glorious ascent that led her to be a great maritime power for more than three centuries. Sunset also has benefited from trade of the Republic of Amalfi, thus increasing their commercial and artistic development; otherwise would not be possible to explain the large number of churches including existing ancient monuments, the presence of so many noble families and the extraordinary number of illustrious men.

With the fall of the republic of Amalfi, by the Normans, and the consequent domination of them, began the dark period of Amalfi and also the magnitude and importance of Tramonti was falling. By the Normans, the Duke of Amalfi went to the Swabians in 1197, and in the Angevins with Charles I in 1266 and, subsequently, the Aragonese with Alfonso I in 1442.
