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 \nFree admission \n Info: +39 081 878 2284 – info@fondazionesorrento.com

SUMMARY:"A Modo Mio" - a showcase dedicated to Lucio Dalla
DESCRIPTION:The first exhibition of the festival “I colori di Lucio” has started; it is organized by Nemesi Association\, in cooperation with the Town hall of Sorrento\, Fondazione Sorrento\, Peninsulart and numerous other local organizations in order to commemorate the italian singer Lucio Dalla ten years after his death.  \n\n\n\nIn the concept event every passion of Dalla relates to a colour: art\, in particular\, has been identified with yellow; that’s why Villa Fiorentino will be lighted with this colour on the outside façade\, while the rooms inside will exhibit a series of works inspired by the singer. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\non exhibition the artists: Daniela Alfarano\, Luca Cavalca\, Mattia Consonni\, Claudio Cuomo\, Bruno de Gennaro\, Silvia Fiorenza\, Alessandro Flaminio\, Omar Galliani\, Jorit\, Luigi Masecchia\, Ugo Nespolo\, Luigi Puglisi\, Paolo Sandulli e Domenico Sepe.  \n\n\n\nThe name  “A modo mio” is not chosen by chance: the artists want to explain their bond to Lucio Dalla and\, through their works\, they testify the feeling and the emotion left them by the Bolognese artist. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMattia Consonni\, for example\, is inspired by the lyrics of songs of all genre and time\, as well as Silvia Fiorenza\, a brilliant Roman designer.  \n\n\n\nThe great passion\, almost admiration\, that connected Lucio Dalla to young people passed down by emerging artists\, such as the local artist Bruno De Gennaro. \n\n\n\nMoreover\, a representation of artists coming from Emilia Romagna will exhibit with the works of Omar Galliani and Daniela Alfarano; it highlights the profound bond and affinity between Emilians and people of Campania. \n\n\n\nLorenzo Puglisi distinguishes himself by using black backrounds \, releasing streams of light able to define volumes\, faces and body parts. The Milanese Luigi Cavalca\, a creative talent of design and fashion\, has exhibited in public and worship places throughout the national country. \n\n\n\nThe Neapolitan Luigi Masecchia explains art with a modern language\, transforming metal caps into artworks\, creating unique masterpieces in which the crown cap is both an elementary cell and a creative illumination. \n\n\n\nClaudio Cuomo has made a brilliant work in papier-maché\, representing the singer in an unusual way\, while Domenico Sepe\, known for having created the statue of Maradona given to the homonymous stadium\, is a sculptor who works all type of material although his peculiarity is bronze.  \n\n\n\nPaolo Sandulli from the Amalfi Coast devoted himself to the production of sculpture and terracotta. Some of his works are in important hotels of the coast and in numerous private collections in Italy and abroad. \n\n\n\nAlessandro Flaminio\, a Neapolitan sculptor whose representative icon is San Gennaro\, has participated in numerous group and personal exhibitions of national and international festivals. His works can be found on different sets of Italian films and series. \n\n\n\nUgo Nespolo a renowned artist since 1960 and fascinated by Pop art ranging from art to avant-garde cinema to design\, shows everyday life in his art\, leaving the aim of his research extrapolating it from common use and making it rise to a masterpiece.  \n\n\n\nfoto di Paolo Ammendola©\n\n\n\nAlso Jorit\, the street artist who is creating the mural with the face of Lucio in the town centre\, takes part in the exhibition with a painting made about ten years ago in Maiano\, a small village of S. Agnello\, on occasion of the Festival “ Terra\, acqua e fuoco”. His work is also one of the prizes of the charity lottery “Un’impresa eccezionale” combined with “I colori di Lucio”. \n\n\n\nThe exhibition will be open every day from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m.\, on Saturday and Sunday until 9 p.m.\, free entrance. \n\n\n\nWe are waiting for you!
