Through her photographs, the author begins to decode and shed light on the world of Sorrento’s inhabitants. With the addition of Clara Guerrini to the project, the entire guidebook takes on an artistic dimension: the photos are reinterpreted by her creative hand, offering readers a “local” perspective shaped by the dreams of those who were born or raised in Sorrento.


Sorrento as a Local is a non-touristic guide: written by a young woman from the area who loves the town—not by a traveler—it allows readers to discover Sorrento through the eyes of someone who truly lives there. In addition to all the information a visitor may need, this guide goes deeper: it tells the story of local life and craftsmanship, steers travelers away from mass commercial routes, explores traditional dishes and seasonal ingredients, and is enriched with anecdotes shared by local residents. Thanks to this guide, readers will be able to discover Sorrento’s architectural features, artistic and cultural heritage, and local customs, while also gaining the knowledge needed to explore it fully—through visits, activities, tastings, day trips, and much more.
