SUMMARY:The Carillon Collection of Enrico Salierno
DESCRIPTION:The second floor of Villa Fiorentino houses a permanent exhibition of music boxes donated to the city of Sorrento by cabinetmaker Enrico Salierno. \nThe latter\, a native of the historic center of Sorrento\, found his fortune in America with the art of Sorrentine marquetry. \nBetween the 1960s and 1970s he opened a workshop in Los Angeles in which he devoted himself to the import and export of typical Sorrento artifacts (caskets\, paintings\, game tables etc.) on which various inlaid works were applied\, the artistic and manual expression of the local craft tradition. Also included in the manufacturing process was the assembly of music boxes. \nFrom year to year the cabinetmaker\, in the company of his wife\, would return here to Sorrento to reunite with his family and friends\, but above all to prepare orders to be sent to his workshop in the US. \nHaving come to the end of his professional cycle\, Enrico Salierno\, as a sign of gratitude to his native land and its craftsmen\, decided to donate to the city of Sorrento a part of his patrimony that best represented “his” world of origin: a very rare and valuable collection of music boxes\, collected during his years of activity\, mounted on fine furniture of both Sorrento and international origin. \nSubsequent to Enrico’s death\, thanks to the invaluable collaboration of his wife and fraternal friend Mario Cimmino\, as well as the Sorrento Foundation and the Sorrento Inlay Craftsmen’s Union\, it was possible to conclude all the complex bureaucratic and transportation procedures for the artifacts from Los Angeles to Sorrento. \nAll that was needed was a stable location where all these works could be kept on display: what better place than Villa Fiorentino? \nThe Sorrento Foundation\, therefore\, is proud to dedicate this entire space to the Salierno Collection on the second floor of the villa. \nThe room is entitled “Enrico Salierno\, artisan of Sorrento”. \n  \nPart of the Salierno collection\nDetail of the cylinder a music box\nDetail of a music box mounted on a cabinet\nSome of the music boxes donated by Enrico Salierno\nSorrentine Craft Tradition meets the art of music boxes\n  \nAccess to the exhibition is included in the cost of the Villa Fiorentino ticket.

SUMMARY:The Art of Sorrento Inlay: Permanent Exhibition at Villa Fiorentino
DESCRIPTION:Inside Villa Fiorentino\, the historic residence in the heart of Sorrento and home to the Fondazione Sorrento\, visitors can enjoy a permanent exhibition dedicated to Sorrento wood inlay\, one of the finest examples of Italian craftsmanship. \nThis permanent exhibition was created to promote and preserve this centuries-old artistic tradition\, which made Sorrento famous worldwide for the skills of its woodworkers. \nThe project was strongly supported by President Gianluigi Aponte and Managing Director Mario Gargiulo\, and realized in collaboration with the Sorrento Inlay Craftsmen Association\, responsible for the setup. \n“The Art of Sorrento Inlay” permanent exhibition guides visitors through the intricate process of inlay work\, which involves combining thin veneers of wood in various colors with precious materials like mother-of-pearl\, ivory\, and metals. \nThen\, the result is a refined mosaic of wood\, forming intricate images and elegant decorative patterns. \nSorrento’s inlay tradition flourished during the 19th and early 20th centuries\, especially during the Grand Tour era\, when artists and intellectuals from all over Europe visited the Sorrento Peninsula. \nThe foundation of the School for the Inlay and Carving Industry in 1886 played a key role in consolidating this art on an international level. \nThe exhibition includes unique pieces such as furniture\, boxes\, panels\, and decorative objects that testify to the beauty and precision of Sorrento’s inlay. \nToday\, although fewer artisans remain\, they are focused on producing high-quality items that keep this remarkable tradition alive. \nUseful Info\nLocation: Villa Fiorentino – Corso Italia\, 53 – Sorrento (NA)Opening hours: \nMonday – Friday from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM and 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM; \nSaturday and Sunday from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM and 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM \n Info: +39 081 878 2284 – info@fondazionesorrento.com

SUMMARY:Goya in Sorrento: White\, Black\, Dream - Exhibition at Villa Fiorentino
DESCRIPTION:From July 9 to October 11\, 2026\, Villa Fiorentino in Sorrento will host one of the year’s most anticipated exhibitions: “Goya. White\, Black\, Dream\,” a major exhibition project dedicated to the graphic work of Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes\, one of the most influential artists in the history of European art.. \nPromoted by Fondazione Sorrento \nCurated by art historian Luca Baroni\, the exhibition offers visitors the chance to admire the Spanish master’s most celebrated print series\, presented in Italy through an exceptionally comprehensive display. It is a journey through engravings that revolutionized the language of modern art and continue to astonish today with their expressive power and enduring relevance. \nThe exhibition stands as one of the most significant cultural events of the summer and autumn of 2026 in Sorrento\, reaffirming the city’s status as a key destination for major international art exhibitions. \nThe Goya Exhibition: White\, Black\, Dream\nHoused within the spaces of Villa Fiorentino\, the exhibition invites the public to discover Goya’s creative universe through his most celebrated graphic series. \nThe exhibition route includes\, in fact: \n\nD’Après Velázquez\, A tribute to the great master of Spanish painting;\nLos Caprichos\, fierce criticism of the vices of society and the superstitions of the time;\nLos Desastres de la Guerra\, considered one of the most powerful artistic testimonies against the horrors of war;\nLa Tauromaquia\, dedicated to the world of bullfighting and Spanish tradition;\nLos Disparates\, an enigmatic and visionary collection that explores the inquietudes of the human soul.\n\nGoya’s graphic work chronicles one of the most complex periods in European history\, marked by the transition from the Ancien Régime to the French Revolution and the social transformations that would alter the face of the continent. \nA court artist and keen observer of reality\, Goya used printmaking as a vehicle for social critique and reflection. In *The Disasters of War*\, he documents the brutality of conflict\, while in *Los Caprichos*\, he portrays the weaknesses\, superstitions\, and contradictions of the society of his time. \nHis ability to combine technique\, imagination\, and social commentary makes his work strikingly relevant even today. \nAn exhibition spanning Villa Fiorentino and the Museo Correale\nFor the first time\, a major exhibition project by the Fondazione Sorrento also involves the Museo Correale\, which is participating in the initiative by extending the exhibition dedicated to the Spanish artist. \nThe collaboration between the two cultural institutions further enhances the event’s significance\, offering visitors an even richer and more comprehensive experience. \nThe exhibition is curated by Luca Baroni\, an art historian and scholar of historical and contemporary graphic art who serves as director of the Rete Museale Marche Nord. \nThanks to the curator’s approach\, combining scholarly rigor with accessible presentation\, the exhibition allows visitors to understand not only the meaning of the artworks but also the innovative techniques employed by Goya\, such as etching and aquatint\, which helped revolutionize the history of printmaking. \nUseful information\nEvent: Goya: Black\, White\, and Dream \nArtist: Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes \nMain Venue: Villa Fiorentino\, Sorrento \nPartner Venue: Museo Correale \nDates: July 9 – October 11\, 2026 \nCurator: Luca Baroni \nOpening Hours: Daily from 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM \nFull-price ticket: €10 \nSorrento Peninsula residents: Free admission
