Carl Friederich Benkowitz

It was one of the first foreign guests who informed us on Ischia after the return of King Ferdinand of Naples. In May of 1802 he stayed at an inn in the village of the castle, had a warm welcome and a passable bed for the night. Thanks to Benkowitz, who was on the island to visit an officer to guard the castle, we have no information on the prisoners, but not on hardened criminals but young children of noblemen who were imprisoned in the castle, so that they repent of some decisions inconvenient for parents.
