THE HOTEL DES ARTISTES OF SORRENTO

"Sorrento to hear this name is like a caress and music.Here in the small Hotel des artistes , Lamartine fell in love with Graziella; Byron and Shelley would come and dream and express their passion and feelings;Goethe meditated; Musset was enraptured ; Mommsen and Renan used to work; Wagner and Nietzsche asked the sky and the Greek serenity the appeasement of their noble pride."

Camille Mauclair-Joseph-Félix, from "Naples et son golfe", H.Laurens, 1928, Paris.
