The farewell to the Old
Year and the contemporaneous New Year’s arrival in Sorrento
is welcome by fireworks and by the lighting of the so called
“ciuccio di fuoco” (representation of a handicraft donkey made of
fabric with chaff and fireworks inside which ideally represents the
Old Year and at midnight is set on fire and fireworks. The “ritual”
also stands as possible bad memories or happenings symbolically set
on fire, meaning gone,… vanished.
This is why soon after midnight a large number of people is found in
the streets to making toasts and welcoming the New Year’s
arrival in Sorrento in an atmosphere of cheerful joy, which
makes the party unforgettable.
They are traditions, which have been renewing for a largest number
of years, together with the song to welcome, just so, the
new year, toasts of good wishes and much more.
Therefore, not only for this, the New Year’s Day in Sorrento
has a particular, suggestive charm and it is always full of go of
life and euphoria. |

On that occasion, the
hotels in Sorrento, which are open, organize
New Year’s Eve dinners and parties, able to make
the stay of those who choose to spend their New Year
holidays in Sorrento unforgettable.
Otherwise, always for parties and New Year’s Eve suppers and
dinners, one can reserve tables or groups at one of the
restaurants of Sorrento or some of the
discotheques of Sorrento.
For those who want to spend an unforgettable night also the idea to
spend a New Year’s Day in a discotheque, can be
pleasant and exhilarating.
Everywhere, in any case, one can breathe a merry and joyful
atmosphere.
For those and many other reasons, in conclusion, to organize a stay
in Sorrento for the New Year is
surely a successful idea, which can assure that quantity and quality
of services and enjoyment during New Year’s, allowing each and every
single visitor to start New Year with the best
wishes and to hope for a warmer and best future.
