I am reminded why we came back to Sorrento. It's a lovely seaside town that is less crowded than other Italian cities we have visited. Every morning after breakfast we go and sit by the pool to enjoy the morning sun.
There is a wonderful art museum in town. We visited the Villa Fiorentino and discovered (like last year) an exciting artist with whom we were not familiar.
Antonio Ligabue had a very troubled life from a young age. He was raised by adoptive parents, sent away from them, had mental disturbances, was incarcerated in institutions, and still became an amazing artist. 52 of his oil paintings were on exhibit.
Here's one of his many self portraits.
And this Leopard was on a huge canvas.
After the museum, we wandered the narrow streets of Sorrento.
We had dinner at the Terazza Sirene--it has some of the most beautiful views of the coast.
And the bay of Naples and Mount Vesuvius.
And the port below.
