    "On May 23, 2013 in his concert in Piazza del Plebiscito Bruce Springsteen exclaimed: "I'm at home", showing the public present in the square a black and white image of a bar in Vico Equense (Gran Caffè Zerilli), founded by his great-grandfather and for years managed by his family, before his grandfather Antonio Zerilli emigrated to the USA. "My family is from Southern Italy - he declared - I am one of you".
    Few people know that both of Bruce's maternal grandparents were Italian, in fact his maternal grandfather, Antonio, was born in Vico Equense (Naples). Andrea Zerilli, Bruce's great-great-grandfather, in 1858 ran a café in Piazza Fontana (Largo Fontana) in Vico Equense, then known in the following years as the "Bar del Sole". In 1883, he was treasurer at the female institute of SS. Trinity and Paradise, an office which will then be inherited by his son Raffaele."

    It was good to finally see a place where you didn't have to swim through a sea of tourists. You can actually see what the locals see daily.

      @@CityWalks I'm from the Northeast (NY State) and know exactly what you mean. People down South, especially in states like Florida, are freezing when it's like 50 degrees, and could not survive in Northeast winters (where the lows could dip below zero). They say that Italy is the California of Europe, and in videos like yours I could see why. 👍

    Thanks, it's my mothers home town. I used to spent the summer vacation there, a long long time ago. Il 23 maggio 2013 nel suo concerto a Piazza del Plebiscito Bruce Springsteen aveva esclamato: “Sono a casa“, mostrando al pubblico presente in piazza un’immagine in bianco e nero di un bar di Vico Equense (Gran Caffè Zerilli), fondato dal suo trisavolo e per anni gestito dalla sua famiglia, prima che il nonno Antonio Zerilli emigrasse negli Usa. “La mia famiglia è del Sud Italia - aveva dicharato - sono uno di voi“.
    Pochi sanno che entrambi i nonni materni di Bruce erano italiani, infatti suo nonno materno, Antonio, era nato a Vico Equense (Napoli). Andrea Zerilli, trisavolo di Bruce, nel 1858 conduceva un Caffè in Piazza Fontana (Largo Fontana) in Vico Equense, noto poi negli anni a seguire come “Bar del Sole”. Nel 1883, era tesoriere presso l’Istituto femminile di SS. Trinità e Paradiso, ufficio che sarà ereditato poi da suo figlio Raffaele.

    Hi, we are staying in a hotel called mega mare. How is the walking around there and public transport etc? seeing some reviews saying walking is difficult etc and want to be able to navigate to different areas around sorrento, amalfi etc. hearing taxi travel is very expensive.

    • @CityWalks

      Getting from the main parts of town to the water are steep and long but if you stay up on the primary parts of town it’s not too bad. The train is the best way to get from Vico to Sorrento. Busses go to other towns but they can get very crowded. -H
