Many are the
events that characterize Easter 2008 in Sorrento. The Hooded-men
Procession – traditional appointment of the Holy week in the
Sorrentine Peninsula, the cultural activities, and the gastronomy
gluttony complete the abundant menu offers to visitors that choose

After a long quiet
winter, Sorrento awakes and officially opens the tourist
season with Easter. The hotels
re-open and the businesses in general, after a long break, prepare
themselves to offer the best and especially due to Easter.
The typical little charming streets of Sorrento,
bring Spring Color and vivacity to the winter grey atmosphere that
certainly Easter rewards with.
Even the cultural and traditional events re-propose
an interesting calendar with a great variety of activities. |

Distinguished by
importance and by the magical atmosphere that they promote, the
Hooded-men processions, that occur in a large
amount through out Sorrento and the
Peninsula. 16 Confraternities and 18
processions, in a representation of intense
mysticism and at a certain feeling of returning to the past, are the
some of the opportunities that the visitor can admire during this
period.
Easter Holidays in Sorrento can disregard the
inciting gastronomic itinerary that the city and
area gift to those who visit; so many are the menus from all
restaurants in Sorrento where one can taste with delight:
The Pastiera - the typical Neapolitan
dessert attached to the Syren Partenope
legend where the lemon taste is exalted here as being one of the
main typical products of the regions, and the Casatiello
– an Easter fluffy and aromatic sweet, less known
as the Pastiera. Joy for kids and the grown-ups,
authentic from the Sorrentine Coast. Also a savoury
version, commonly called “nzogna e pepe”, will be
hard to resist from keeping the good figure, but certainly not your
good…mood ! |
