Dangerous Mount Vesuvius in the background (view from Sorrento) of which Sirene Parthenope also warned of on a painting. Parthenope was also a name of Napoli in the antique times.  And Parthenope was also the tutelary goddes of Napoli in former times. Vesuvius broke out 19 bc. destroying big parts of the area, the outbreak was well ducumented by Plinius. It destroyed the City Pompeji and Heraculaneum.

After a rough transfer with the next ferry over turbulent sea to Sorrento the shopping bags were filled here as it is a little cheeper here than in Capri.
