SORRENTO, Correal Museum

The Correale Museum in Sorrento is named after the family of the Correale Counts, local nobles who donated the Villa and their art collection to the town in the early 20th century.

The palace that houses the museum, dating back to the 18th century, is a magnificent example of Sorrento architecture. The original structure was a country villa set amid lush gardens and citrus groves. Over the years, the building has been expanded and embellished, transforming it into a palace that reflects the elegance and refined taste of its owners.

The museum is spread over several floors, each of which houses different collections arranged in rooms decorated with period furniture, frescoes and porcelain that create an evocative historical context.

The Correale Museum collection is vast and varied, ranging from Renaissance and Baroque art to works from the 19th century. Among the most significant works are Italian Renaissance paintings by artists such as Francesco Solimena and Giacomo del Po....
