In an exceptional landscape where sea
and mountain, deep valleys and citrus groves plateaux
alternate, lies Sorrento, one of the most well-known
international tourist sights. Sorrento, native city of the poet Torquato
Tasso, who was born here in 1544 is a land of colours, mermaids and orange and lemon
groves.
Sorrento is indeed a very pretty little city, where kindness and hospitality
are a combination that is handed down from one generation to the next.
Brilliant or
delicate hues depending on the change of the seasons, can be enjoyed when you just pause a
moment to observe a sunset , or when you gaze in the
direction of Punta del Capo, of Ischia or Procida, the outlines of which can
be seen clearly from this hilly village. You will be amazed by the variety of colours and the beauty
of the scene.
Today Sorrento is a modern city, the home of a
prestigious and rich Museum (Correale of Terranova),
that contains important testimonies of both the history
of the city and of the purest craft tradition. Also
hosts important events in the fields of culture
(International Prize Award "City of Sorrento" for
science), music (Sorrentine Summer Musical Festival),
cinema (International Film Festival), as well as the
ideal starting point for visiting to all the tourist
sights of the area (Capri, Ischia, Naples, Ercolano,
Pompei, Positano, Amalfi) and thermal
treatments, naturalistic walks. |
