Correale Museum is a small jewel kept in the town of Sorrento. For those who love art, painting and decorative art, Correale Museum arouses interest and special attention. It is the place where some of the most beautiful artistic testimonies of Sorrento and the Sorrento Peninsula are gathered, set in the lovely setting of “Villa alla Rota“.
The villa is famous for its refined furnishings, with precious furniture and cabinet-making products of Neapolitan, English, Chinese, French and German manufacture.
The Museum is set out on three floors: the first floor houses the artistic exhibits of Neapolitan ‘Mannerism’; on the second floor are the canvases of the ‘Scola di Posillipo’ and the ‘still lifes’ of 17th-century Neapolitan artists, as well as a collection of clocks, glassware and objects. On the third floor we find the wonderful majolica and porcelain made in Sorrento, rare examples of majolica from the Grue factories in Abruzzo, Marseilles, Germany and China, as well as porcelain from Capodimonte and the Royal Factory in Naples.
