Vico Equense on Sorrento Coast

The bends that characterized the Sorrento Coast seems to take a pause in Vico Equense, where they are more sweet and less stressing. In the past Vico Equense was the point were Romans, Greeks and Italics populations had commercial exchanges. The centro storico maintains its appearances of medieval village. Walking through the streets of Vico Equense means to walk into history, in an open museum, where you could notice the historical evolution of the town. In the very centre of the city you can admire the Church of Annunziata, the unique example of Gothic architecture in all the Sorrento Coast, and moving a little from there you can visit the Mountain Faito a peak of the Lattai’s chain. If you leave the centre you’ll have a walk among the casali (rustic farmhouses), they are organized as little towns and each one has its Saint Patron… During the week-end Vico Equense is full of people coming from the surroundings, the reason of such crowd of people is the restaurant “da Giggino”, famous for its pizza sold by the metre.
