The most beautiful Provincial Museum of Italy", this is how the Correale Museum has been defined with its interesting collection of minor arts of the 17th and 18th century. The Museum is located in what was the 18th century residence (Villa alla Rota) of the Correale family, counts of Terranova, donated by the brothers Alfredo and Pompeo Correale to the city of Sorrento together with the family collections of pictorial and decorative art to make it a museum open to the public. Inaugurated in 1924, the Museum is divided into 24 rooms in which Greek, Roman and medieval finds, 17th and 18th century furnishings, porcelain and majolica from Capodimonte and other manufactures, Venetian glass, Bohemian crystals, a group of Neapolitan shepherds from the 18th century and clocks are on display. Of note, the beautiful collection of furniture and objects of the local inlaid woodwork, the nucleus of Neapolitan and foreign paintings (17th-18th century) and those of the landscape artists of the so-called "Posillipo School" (Giacinto Gigante, Anton Plitoo, Teodoro Duclère), some editions of the works of Torquato Tasso. Not to be missed, the beautiful garden surrounding the palace and the belvedere terrace overlooking the Gulf of Naples.
