Slow Food Earth Market – Sorrento Coast
Once a month, on the second Sunday, the Slow Food Earth Market takes place at the Piazza della Repubblica in Piano di Sorrento.

Brimming with a delectable assortment of fresh produce, preserves, honey, cured-meats, cheeses, nuts, legumes, sweets, breads, olive oils, and beverages, this wholesome farmers’ market provides customers the opportunity to buy high-quality food directly from the very hands of the small-scale farmers and artisan producers from the local community.
