This photo was taken by Giorgio Sommer at [roughly this location](https://goo.gl/maps/vg6YezjmN42ZdoMV6). This is my own estimation, I couldn’t find any one photo taken specifically from the same location as the above photo.
Giorgio was one of Europe’s most important and prolific photographers of the 19th century. Active from 1857 to 1888, he produced thousands of images of archeological ruins, landscapes, art objects and portraits.

The buildings to the very left, straddling the cliff face, is the Imperial Hotel Tramontano, with some of its buildings originating in the 1500s.
Ovviamente è un fake non c’erano gli alberi negli anni 1800
per un momento ho creduto fosse Toussaint
Guarda qui, nessun telefono in vista. Solo gente che si gode la vita e ~~muore di poliomielite~~.

Amazing pic, did you colorize it?
Wow it looks amazing! You have any high res version so I can print it and put it in my room? Even in private if you don’t want to share
Non so perché ma adesso voglio comprarmi un cappello di paglia
Che meraviglia! Invidio tantissimo quei due
Complimenti. È bellissima!
…
Impossibile, i colori non sono esisti tra il 1830 e il 1960
I just took a look at your Instagram profile, I can’t decide which picture is better, congratulations for the wonderful work! I will probably buy some, they’re amazing
Ho visto tantissimi quadri proprio di sorrento proprio di fine 800 quando sono stato in Russia, molto belli

I wanted to share this photo with this community as I think you would appreciate seeing Sorrento in color.
