There is no
Sorrento peninsula’s inhabitant who does not know the Punta Campanella’s legend. Told by grandparents or learned at school, the legend is part of the popular Sorrento’s culture.
As the name suggests, the etymology is tied to a bell.
A version says that once, on the
Tower of Minerva, goddess worshiped in this place, was placed a bell which was rung in case of emergency.
