History & Context

100 year old Sorrento restaurant Sorrento was sung by Homer in his Odyssey and it seems that its name derives from the myth of the Sirens who charmed the navigators with their song and then suffocated them. But Ulysses, the Homeric hero, with an expedient managed to pass unscathed along the Sorrento coast and the Sirens were transformed into islets of the "Li Galli" located near the coast. Another legend dating back to 1558 tells us that during the invasion of the Turks, on the night of June 13, they broke into the church of the patron saint S. Antonino, sacking and killing the citizens, took the silver statue of the saint and a bell.
