The sweet and rare water of Buceto

Four thousand steps from the heart of the Green Island to the sea   
by Isabella Marino

The enveloping silence of the forest amplifies the chirping of birds. They fly up, as soon as they sense the human presence and cease for a moment to be the undisputed masters of the place. Which perhaps took its old name from them, Abocaetus, from which the most usual Buceto derives. Common to both the mountain that rises near Epomeo and overlooks the ancient craters, now surrounded by greenery, Rotaro is the source that flows from its lively side, to the East side, there where go to drink flocks of birds. Pure and fresh water, which descends from the top of the hill through the clayey rocks.

The wonderful evening many years ago

Taken entirely from the tenth chapter of Sotiro, this story is the first work of Nicholas Pascale as an author; schoolmate and fine intellectual, former university lecturer in Milan before returning to this green island where he has since worked for several years: it is a delightful book, dedicated to the memory of Salvatore his recently passed on father, full of memorable pages, strong, original and precious. As is this nostalgic memory, going back to 26th July, more than half a century ago: re-reading it now, for one who the festival of Sant’Anna and the summer 2016 are already fond memories, creates a poignant effect which I would like to share with readers. My sincere thanks to Nicola for having allowed this publication. (Ci.cen.)

Ischia’s theatre, Corrado Visone is winner with the export formula

The third edition of “Premio Aenaria” started on October 1st and ends on December 4th. In a short time it has become one of the most important theater festivals in Campania: from thirty requests of participation in the first year, today it counts more than seventy. This happens because Ischia, with its theater, is increasing its attractiveness. I met Corrado Visone, writer, director and actor who created it along with Enzo Boffelli, who first fought for having a theater on the island and is now the president of the association «Amici del Teatro», which “guides the whole structure”, confirms Enzo who wants to be able to replace the parterre and make the room complete. Corrado “likes to build emotions”.
