It is sing by poets and writers for its spectacular (beauty) charm.
Sorrento, not to be rhetorical is indeed the land of colours which are bright or delicate depending on the change of the season: the blue of the sea, the light blue like the colour of the traditional crafts that the fisherman face the sea in, green like the pine and olive trees that frame the magnificent view of the gulf, like the orange and lemon trees that give the air its sweet smell, like the vegetation and the gardens that are the pride of the people of Sorrento.While Visiting Sorrento .
