“Sorrento has an
incomparable geographical and political position, and that is why since ancient
times has been a popular destination for many people, who, with their passages
have influenced the culture and traditions of this charming place kissed by God
and the sun . The etymology of the name “Sorrento” is not entirely certain,
some scholars state it is attributable to the myth of the Sirens (Sirentum)
while others argue that the term derives from the greek word which means surreal
“contribute“, “flows” and in this case would relate to the hydrological and
morphological conformation of the Sorrento peninsula, marked by two rivers that
flow into the sea by defining both the old boundaries of the city. Some
archaeologists state that in the hilly areas an origin of the first settlements
actually date back to Neolithic times, and can be seen partly in the Museum
Correale of Sorrento, partly in Vallet Gorge Museum of Villa Fondi in Piano di
Sorrento (tombs of the civilization of Gavdos). Among the famous and
illustrious people visiting Sorrento
are: Lord Byron, John Keats, Walter Scott and Goethe. Sorrento is the birthplace of the famous poet
Torquato Tasso (1544-1595), and the city’s main square is dedicated to him. A
statue stands in his honor. Tasso, is the author of the famous Gerusalemme
Liberata and he is considered the most famous and influential Italian poet of
the sixteenth century. The famous tenor Enrico Caruso loved Sorrento, and visited many times, especially
during his convalescence after his surgery. The great singer-songwriter Lucio
Dalla, dedicated a song to Enrico Caruso . Dalla,enjoys Sorrento and has become an honorary citizen .”
