When the sun is warm and the scent of lemons lingers along the streets, and Vesuvius seems filled with benevolence rather than brimstone across the bay, and the excursion boats leave long silver wakes on the way to Capri, it is easy to be dazzled by beauty and dreamily miss some of Sorrento’s important landmarks. But on a dark, wet and blustery day, you might find yourself in the town’s main square, as I did, struggling to keep your umbrella from turning inside-out, in the lee of a sizeable marble statue.
