ENTRY DESCRIPTION
Card players in SEDILE DOMINOVA, Sorrento, Italy. The walls and ceiling are adorned with original frescoes including Sorrento’s coat of arms and the heraldic symbols of the nobles who used the building. Most of the frescoes have been faithfully restored over the centuries apart from the 18th century ones which have survived intact.

“Domus” translates as house, “nova” means new and “sedile” means seat, and in those days the Seat was strictly for men only. These days it plays host to some serious card games by the locals but tourists are welcome to step inside.
