Piazza Tasso in Sorrento

Pastel buildings border the open stone square while green hills rise in the background. Vespas zip past outdoor cafe tables shaded by large white umbrellas. A statue of poet Torquato Tasso watches over the lively Italian scene.

This central square sits directly above a deep historic gorge hidden beneath the modern pavement. Visitors gather here to drink strong espresso and watch the daily rhythm of southern Italy. The warm coastal evening transforms the space into a grand open-air theater of local life.
