Also in 2010 Sorrento is getting ready to live the Holy Easter:  numerous are the local shows and the initiatives not to be missed.  Among these ones, worthy to be mentioned are the processions of Holy Thursday and Friday  which pass across the streets of the old town centre of Sorrento and of the other towns of the Sorrento Coast, such as Massa Lubrense, Piano di sorrento, Meta  and Sant' Agnello. 

The mystical and suggestive atmosphere which is found in Sorrento during the Holy Week  draws every year numerous visitors to the enchanting town on the Gulf of Naples.  Besides the beauty of the place and the peculiarity of the religious rites and of the local folklore, there is a mild climate: an exceptional  combination for excursions to the surroundings of Sorrento and to the neighbouring tourist centres  such as Naples, Pompeii, Herculaneum, Capri and the Amalfi Coast.

Particularly felt, Easter represents also an important moment for local gastronomy: it is in this time of the year that the Sorrento Coast and Campania  in general offer tourists the tastiest dishes of the old Neapolitan gastronomical tradition. Interesting are the wine-gastronomical itineraries which include Easter menus and typical dihes, such as the sweet and the salty casatiello and the well-known Neapolitan Pastiera.
