Sorrento Sentry Stretched Canvas Prints
Sorrento is a coastal town in southeastern Italy, facing the Bay of Naples on the Sorrentine Peninsula. Perched atop cliffs that separate the town from its busy marinas, it is known for sweeping views and Piazza Tasso, a cafe-lined square. The historic center is a warren of narrow alleys that includes the Chiesa di San Francesco, a 14th-century church with a tranquil cloister. Live the good life amid Sorrento's imposing limestone buildings, whether you are dining by the water, browsing galleries and boutiques or swimming alongside dolphins. In an extraordinary landscape where sea and mountain, deep valleys and citrus groves plateaux alternate, everybody can choose his ideal holiday. Ferries and hydrofoils connect the town to Naples, Amalfi, Positano, Capri and Ischia. Sorrento's sea cliffs and luxury hotels have attracted celebrities including Enrico Caruso and Luciano Pavarotti. Limoncello is a digestif made from lemon rinds, alcohol, water and sugar which is produced in Sorrento. Other agricultural production includes citrus fruit, wine, nuts and olives. Sorrento makes a good base for exploring the surrounding area: to the south, the best of the peninsula’s unspoilt countryside and, to the east, the Amalfi Coast; to the north, Pompeii and the archaeological sites; offshore, the fabled island of Capri. A walk around Sorrento’s village is experiencing living history, but for a detailed look at the region’s remarkable history, makes your way to the Nepean Historical Museum and Pioneer Cottage, and Collins Settlement Historic Site.
