The most obvious place to begin our walk is
Sorrento's main piazza, named for the Italian
poet Torquato Tasso who was born in this coastal
town. In one corner of the piazza, behind the
stand where horse-drawn carriages pick up
passengers, there is a statue dedicated to this
famous native. In the center of the piazza,
instead, you can see the statue of Sorrento's
patron saint, Saint Antonino...the city
celebrates his feast day each year on February
14th.
