13th October 2011 - Societa Operaia Di Mutuo Soccorso - Sorrento.

Walk down the narrow Via San Cesareo from Plazza Tasso to the junction with Via Reginaldo Giuliani and you will find the 15th century Sedile Dominova.

Once a meeting place or loggia for the medieval aristrocacy, this domed enclave open on two sides now houses a working mens club.

Each afternoon the locals gather to catch upon events,

read a newspaper,

or play cards.

The walls are richly decorated and display sorrentine family coats of arms.

Wedding couples are often photographed here.

They meet up most days to play cards.
