Your Concierge Team SORRENTO DUOMO Located in the heart of Sorrento, the Cathedral dates back to the X-XII centuries, when it was transferred inside the urban surrounding wall. Sorrento Cathedral is dedicated to the Saints Phillip and James and it is said to be risen on the ruins of an ancient Temple dedicated to Jupiter. The Church houses paintings by artists from the Neapolitan school of the 1700s, an archbishop’s throne in fine marbles (1573) and a wooden marquetry work of Sorrentine craftsmen of the beginning of the 19th century. In the last chapel on the left an important nativity scene of the Neapolitan tradition is kept. The poet Torquato Tasso, the best known citizen of the town, was baptized in the church's baptistery. DOMINOVA SEAT This is the only remaining testimony of the old noble seats and dates to the XVI century. The 17th century cupola is formed by green and yellow majolica roof-tiles. THE OLD WALLS A part of the Greek defensive wall still remaining is under the road at the Porta Parsano Nuova and can be viewed close to the same door. CLOISTER A few meters from Piazza Sant’Antonino, where the Basilica dedicated to the patron saint of Sorrento stands, in Piazza Francesco Saverio Gargiulo – close to the Villa Comunale – rises a historic triptych set in a volcanic tuff wall known around the Peninsula Area as “conventual complex of San Francesco d’Assisi”. The elements which characterize the triptych are: the Church, the Monastery and the Cloister. During the summer period, the Cloister is transformed and becomes the background for works of art exhibitions and of the Sorrentine Musical Summer, an extraordinary continuation of appointments bound to music with the presence of artists coming from all over the world.

  • A Long-Term Analysis of Passenger Flows on a Regional Rail Line
    C. Caropreso et al., Int. J. Transp. Dev. Integr., Vol. 1, No. 3 (2017) 329–338 A LONG-TERM ANALYSIS OF PASSENGER FLOWS ON A REGIONAL RAIL LINE C. Caropreso, C. DI Salvo, M. Botte & L. D’ACIERNO Department of Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering, Federico II University of Naples, Italy. Abstract Promoting rail systems can represent a useful policy for rebalancing modal choices and reducing pri- vate car use, especially in high-density contexts. Obviously, an increase in passenger numbers is only possible if generalized costs (i.e. a weighted sum of times and monetary costs) associated to public transport are abated. According to the recent literature and current professional practice, most strategies for achieving this objective are based only on infrastructural interventions which may be unfeasible or inadequate in densely populated contexts. Likewise, the adoption of policies based on replacing exist- ing fleets or reducing fare levels entails increases in national or regional subsidies, which would be difficult to achieve in the current economic climate. Hence, our proposal is based on investigating effects on travel demand arising from the replacement or upgrading of existing signalling systems (both in terms of trackside and on-board equipment). In- deed, the recent European Union policy to create a single transnational interoperable rail network im- poses the development of innovative signalling systems. In this context, since cost–benefit analysis has to be implemented to verify the economic and environmental feasibility of the proposed intervention strategy, an appropriate method should be developed to estimate passenger flows according to future configurations. In this article, we propose a method to determine travel demand in current and future contexts by appropriately processing data from Italy’s national census on mobility, population growth forecasts and turnstile counts.

Quelques bijoux de corail ou de turquoises soulignent le caractère décidément estival de cette tenue de villégiature. L'engouement des élites pour Capri n'est pas chose nouvelle.

  • Guided Small Group Cycling Tour
    Guided small group cycling tour Amalfi Coast & Cilento Cycling the Coast of the Sirens Enjoy the best of southern Italy: from the unknown Cilento to the dramatic Amalfi Coast TRIP NOTES 2020 © Genius Loci Travel. All rights reserved. [email protected] | www.genius-loci.it ***GENIUS LOCI TRAVEL - The Real Spirit Of Italy*** Guided small group cycling tour INTRODUZIONE The regions of Amalfi and the Cilento have been known as a paradise on earth since ancient times. The Greeks built some of their most impressive temples here and under the Romans they formed part of ‘Campania Felix’, or the Happy Land. When travelling here, one easily becomes overwhelmed by the well-known cultural and natural attractions of the famous ‘Costiera Amalfitana’ with its towering cliffs and picturesque coves. However, the Cilento region south of Salerno, now one of Italy’s biggest National Parks, where the coastline bulges out into an expanse of mountainous landmass, is also well worth a visit. This tour gives you the opportunity to discover both the busy, touristy Amalfi and the quiet, peaceful Cilento. Here in the Cilento National Park you pass through world-famous cultural sites that are UNESCO World Heritage listed, such as Velia and Paestum, and visit some of the nicest medieval villages in the area, both along the coast and slightly inland, where the traditional way of life is still evident. All these attractions are connected by great well-paved and quiet roads, ideal for cycling. Of course there will also be plenty of time to enjoy the splendid beaches and wonderful food on offer.
