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:Chiamata alle Arti: Exhibition in Villa Fiorentino
DESCRIPTION:Villa Fiorentino hosts “Chiamata alle Arti – Segni vivi di una comunità in movimento” (Call to the Arts – Living Signs of a Community in Motion)\, an exhibition running from October 23 to November 8\, 2026\, dedicated to five artists and their individual expressive explorations. The exhibition brings together the works and artistic journeys of Franco Cuomo\, Carla De Gregorio\, Francesca De Rosa\, Juliana Moura\, and Giulia Persico\, offering the public an opportunity to engage with diverse artistic languages. \nThe group exhibition running from October 23 to November 8\nThe exhibition presents a collection of visions spanning painting\, abstraction\, and reflections on identity. The works convey diverse sensibilities\, united by a desire to explore what lies beyond the visible surface. \nThe artistic practice of Franco Cuomo—a philosopher and writer—has evolved through extensive experience in painting\, engaging in a dialogue with art history and drawing inspiration from mythology\, fashion\, psychedelia\, and Indian painting. \nCarla De Gregorio uses color to articulate the artist’s deepest dimensions\, creating an expressive journey that transcends time and immediate perception. \nIn the works of Francesca De Rosa\, the focus lies on the psyche\, time\, and nature\, utilizing imagery and symbols to connect landscape\, personal experience\, and inner states. \nJuliana Moura explores the interplay between matter\, existence\, the psyche\, and spirituality through abstraction and mixed-media techniques. Shades of blue\, materiality\, and gold become elements of an artistic vision that seeks to make the immaterial visible. \nThe work of Giulia Persico—who signs her pieces as Julsip—centers on the soul and the possibility of transcending the physical boundaries of the body. Shapes and lines serve as tools to express the movement and tension of the inner realm. \nInformation for visiting the exhibition\nThe exhibition “Chiamata alle Arti – Segni vivi di una comunità in movimento” will be open to the public at Villa Fiorentino\, at Corso Italia 53 in Sorrento\, from October 23 to November 8\, 2026. \n\nDates: October 23 – November 8\, 2026\nOpening hours: Daily from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM and from 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM\nVenue: Villa Fiorentino\, Corso Italia 53\, Sorrento\nAdmission: Free\n\nThe exhibition offers an opportunity to engage with creativity and the diverse forms through which artists interpret reality\, nature\, and the human dimension.
