Sorrento is a town overlooking the Bay of Naples in Southern Italy. A popular tourist destination due to its variety of small antique shops and location on the Amalfi Coast, it can be reached easily from Naples and Pompeii as it is at the south-eastern end of the rail line. The town is most known for its small shops selling ceramics, lacework and woodwork. The Sorrentine Peninsula has views of Naples, Vesuvius and the Isle of Capri. The Amalfi Drive, connecting Sorrento and Amalfi, is a narrow road that threads along the high cliffs above the Tyrrhenian Sea. 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. De St Francis Church in the heart of Sorrento is baroque and topped by a bulbous torenspits, it is bordered by a stunning cloister from the 13th century with capitals decorated with floral motifs supporting the interlaced arcades in the Sicilian-Arabic style. The courtyard is beautiful. The cloister is from the pagan era to the Middle Ages, and is a delightfully peaceful place to visit. Musical evenings, concerts and exhibitions are also sometimes held there.

St Francis Church in the heart of Sorrento is bordered by a little park. A couple enjoy an Italian ice cream on a bench in this beautiful park. The history of ice goes back to the time of the Romans, where sorbet was first mentioned. The Romans loved it and served their guests various ice dishes prepared with snow, mixed with honey, rose water and fruit. Ice cream became so popular in Italy. The traditional flavours of gelato consist of vanilla, chocolate, hazelnut, pistachio, cream and stracciatella (fior di latte gelato with chocolate chunks). Fior di latte ("milk flower") is plain, base ice cream with no flavour and no eggs added. More modern flavours consist of fruity flavours such as raspberry, strawberry, apple, lemon and pineapple.

Sorrento is een stad met uitzicht op de baai van Napels in Zuid-Italië. Een populaire toeristische bestemming vanwege de verscheidenheid aan kleine antiekwinkels en de locatie aan de Amalfikust, het is gemakkelijk te bereiken vanuit Napels en Pompeii, net als aan het zuidoostelijke uiteinde van de spoorlijn. De stad staat vooral bekend om zijn kleine winkeltjes met keramiek, kantwerk en houtwerk. Het schiereiland Sorrentine biedt uitzicht op Napels, de Vesuvius en het eiland Capri. De Amalfi Drive, die Sorrento en Amalfi met elkaar verbindt, is een smalle weg die langs de hoge kliffen boven de Tyrrheense Zee loopt. Veerboten en draagvleugelboten verbinden de stad met Napels, Amalfi, Positano, Capri en Ischia. De zeekliffen en luxe hotels van Sorrento hebben beroemdheden aangetrokken, waaronder Enrico Caruso en Luciano Pavarotti. De Sint Franciscuskerk ligt in het hart van Sorrento. In het mooie parkje voor de kerk geniet een echtpaar van een Italiaans ijsje. De geschiedenis van ijs gaat terug tot de tijd van de Romeinen, waar sorbet voor het eerst werd genoemd. De Romeinen waren er dol op en serveerden hun gasten verschillende ijsgerechten bereid met sneeuw, gemengd met honing, rozenwater en fruit. IJs werd zo populair in Italië. De traditionele smaken van gelato bestaan uit vanille, chocolade, hazelnoot, pistache, room en stracciatella (fior di latte gelato met stukjes chocolade). Fior di latte melkmeel is een eenvoudig ijsje zonder smaak en zonder eieren. Modernere smaken zijn fruitige smaken zoals framboos, aardbei, appel, citroen en ananas.
