Description

Piano di Sorrento is a tourist center of the Sorrentine Peninsula; it is a natural terrace of tuff rock and its name derives from the Latin word "Planities", due to its level territory. It occupies the central area of the Sorrentine Peninsula and each year attracts thousands of tourists who come to view its environmental and architectural wonders and experience the excellent cuisine.
Not to be missed is Villa De Sangro di Fondi, national monuments and wonderful example of neo-classic architecture, is situated in a very suggestive natural park, on a tuff crag giving a breathtaking view of the Gulf of Naples and now it is site of the Georges Vallet Archaeological Museum of the Sorrento Peninsula, that holds documents and finds from the most recent excavations, reconstructing the history of the Sorrento Peninsula from prehistory to the Roman era.
St. Michael Basilica was built, according to tradition, on a former site of an ancient pagan temple and now houses works by Girolamo Imparato and Francesco Solimena, in addition to four marble statues of angels, probably made by artists of Bernini's famous school.
