The Institution, promoted and strongly supported by Mgr. Onofrio Buonocore, also author of numerous publications on the island of Ischia, in 1956, then formed into a charitable trust, has now become "Library". The necessary restoration works have started lately the safe recovery of this important Cultural Centre, the only one of its kind existing in the island of Ischia. It is located in "La Mandra" in Ischia Ponte, at the Church of St. Anthony of the Friars Minor, whence the name "Anttoniana", which has rightly been retained in the new configuration.
