Alphonse de Lamartine

He came three times in Ischia. The first one in 1811-1812, the second one in 1820, the third one in 1844. He wrote on CONFIDENCES, that are stories. In one of these confidences says that he lives in the most beautiful island, on a promontory that rises from the sea and its slopes thrive forests to the sea. Lamartine writes poems about Ischia and here wrote the novel GRAZIELLA.
