That sky-blue, little island Elsa Morante

Caption: My story starts from a room with a view on the marina of Chiaiolella, which was a volcano crater ages ago. Now is a beautiful turistic port hosting sailing boats.

Procida

to discover the most authentic architecture.

Caption: Writer Elsa Morante loved the island and set here her book
"L'Isola di Arturo".
She also used to enjoy the garden of the very first hotel on the island
El Dorado.

Caption: Procida is tiny,
4 square kilometres circa.
I highly enjoyed walking to Corricella, which is a beautiful, romantic port.
Here some scenes from the movie
"Il Postino" were filmed.
The views were worth climbing some stairs up the hill.

Caption: In my steps of discovery, I found @vinerialetterariaisoladiarturo.
The owner put together a magic space where people can find
selected wine, books and clothes from the region.
There is also a corner for
book sharing. Just my kind of place.

Caption: The beauty of the landscape found a rival in the delicious meals of the local tradition.
Like gnocchi alla sorrentina.

Caption: But what will stay with me for even longer, is the
exquisite kindness
of every single person
I met on my way.
I will miss you all,
kind, loving and smiling people
of this land which is now
so dear to my heart.
