The street is known for its charming shops, cafes, and vibrant atmosphere. The history of Corso Italia is closely tied to the development of Sorrento as a tourist destination. Sorrento has been inhabited since ancient times, and its strategic location along the cliffs of the Sorrentine Peninsula made it an important town in the region. During the 19th and early 20th centuries, Sorrento experienced a surge in popularity among European and American travelers.
