The Basilica devoted to the local Saint has many interesting offerings and devotional stories on display in the crypt. A beautiful church in a country full of beautiful churches. Now we know why so many local boys are named Antonino.

If you enjoy the beautiful history of the Rennaissance all these places have historical value. The arts and structures at any Church has got to be seen to believe. So much beautiful paintings and statues that it creates an ambients of holiness that you can't help but get caught up in.

Went to Sunday mass and toured the treasures and art after. Pratically next door to our Villa Elisse apartment.

It's nice what else can I say? Impressive build but not too unusual. Love sorrento as a place though, my favourite place I've been in Italy

On the room below the main altar of the church is a display of shiny (maybe silver) talismans. They're idealized images of various body parts (eyes, hearts, feet, legs, breasts) which people brought (maybe in the 19th century) for intervention by Saint Antonio to provide a cure.

We were lucky to be walking by one night and the doors were open. We wandered inside and its absolutely beautiful inside. I echo the comment of how peaceful it was inside.
