Futura and Malafemmina
Walking through the streets of Sant’Angelo to the discovery of the summer season is synonymous with two things: being on vacation and coming across stories that have written about the past, which is then present that is then the future. An anti-cosmopolitan metropolis that lives on stories over time.
Of fire and of sea
Fire fountains in the middle of the sea. Directly from the belly of the earth, they created the small island with the characteristic rounded shape that makes it even today unmistakable, in front of the southern coast of the big island. And only a narrow strip of sand unites it to the giant dominated by Epomeo.
Rigenerated eyes: Gilles, Bargheer, Levy
Great painters have frequented Sant’Angelo in the last century. Werner Gilles arrived in Sant’Angelo in 1936, under a self-imposed exile, because he was part of that strong Teutonic expressionism that was defined as “degenerate” by National Socialism. From 1937 to 1941 he found a small winter shelter and since 1951 he frequented the village assiduously to devote himself to painting.
Stars, set and anglers
It was 1960 and even the quiet fishing village on the southern side of the island began to be a tourist destination. An ideal landing place for the yachts of characters seeking tranquility. Far from the paparazzi just launched from the “Dolce Vita”, Sant’Angelo guaranteed freedom of stay even to the top-end characters, with crowds of fans: Gina Lollobrigida, Mina, Liz Taylor and Richard Burton, at the beginning of their dazzling love story. There was a white piano in the square below the tower on the summer nights of the 1980s.

Barano is one of the six municipalities of the island of Ischia established during the French domination of the Kingdom of Naples in 1806. It is the second largest land (12 km2). Its population is about 9.000 inhabitants scattered in 4 fractions (Piedimonte, Fiaiano, Buonopane and Testaccio). One of these ones - Testaccio - was also an independent town from 1806 to 1873. At the Piazza of San Rocco - the center of the city located about 200 meters above sea level - one comes from Ischia Porto through the state highway ex-270, now provincial, which circumnavigates the island,
