SORBETTO
Travelers to Naples often remarked on sorbetto in their scenes of the city’s street life.
In 1839 Irish author and biographer of Lord Byron, Marguerite Gardiner, Countess of Blessington, wrote: “The gaiety of the streets of Naples at night is unparalleled. . . . The ice-shops are crowded by the beau monde, and the humbler portable shops, . . . which are established in the streets, are surrounded by eager applicants for the sorbetto and lemonade.”
