"We are proud of the success of this evening - said Bruna Piscopo, president of the Rotary Club Sorrento - because it shows how much our community cares about protecting its artistic and cultural heritage. A special thanks goes to the principal of the San Paolo Institute, Prof. Amalia Mascolo, for having enthusiastically welcomed this initiative, to the students, who with their talent made the dinner a unique experience, and to the municipal administration for its support. Thanks also to Penisola Verde, always at the forefront for the enhancement of the territory."
