Presentation of the catalog of “The Figure and the Landscape”.

Sorrento and the Sorrentine Peninsula have always been among the favorite destinations for Italian and international artists, thanks to the beauty of its landscapes, the hospitality of its residents, and its rich cultural and gastronomic offerings.
