"The cliff of sin" of '50, directed by Roberto Bianchi Montero, was a film made especially in the municipality of Forio, the unmistakable image of the Church of Soccorso. It tells the story of a woman to ruin an entire country, Ischia. (Mereghetti, 2002). The island is crucial to support the film, which, though attended by Gino Cervi, is quite labile in the plot.
