Alessandro Fiorentino Collection

The 18th-century Palazzo Pomarici Santomasi houses both faces of the Alessandro Fiorentino Collection: the business’ productive heart is also home to the Museum-Workshop of Wood Intarsia, started in 1993, following restoration works by architect Alessandro Fiorentino, for the purpose of pro- tecting and promoting this fascinating age-old art which, in Sorrento, reached its full splendor in the 19th-century and whose memory is perpetuated here, while explor- ing both its present and future. The production, through which the architectural matrix shines, consists of works of contemporary intarsia, entirely custom-made, from design to installation. The Museum also devotes ample space to training, with educational workshops aimed at creating new generations of artisans who are able to combine both manual and planning skills.
