Villa Fiorentino, constructed in central Sorrento during the 1930s, was once the residence of textile makers Antonino Fiorentino and Lucia Cuomo. The couple gained international recognition for their exquisitely crafted handkerchiefs, a legacy that earned the villa its local nickname, Villa Fazzoletti, or Handkerchiefs Villa. Today, the villa serves as the home of the Fondazione Sorrento, which regularly hosts cultural events and exhibitions, offering visitors a chance to explore the rich artistic and cultural heritage of the region.
