During Holy Week, Sorrento becomes one of the most evocative destinations in Italy, where tradition, faith, and history come together to create a truly unique and emotional atmosphere.
Local historic brotherhoods (confraternities) bring centuries-old traditions to life through solemn processions that wind through the old town during the evening and night, offering a deeply moving and visually striking experience.
