"Walking around the alleys, churches and towers” to discover and rediscover the story of Forio
Often the tourist who decide to visit Forio is inevitably directed towards those that are the focal points of the City such as the Main Course Francesco Regine with its shops; Piazza San Gaetano; the Bay of Citara and the Poseidon Gardens; the Piazzale del Soccorso where admire the beautiful sunsets and hope to see even for a moment the famous “Green Ray”.
Outside of these ‘must stages’, the more discerning visitor who will walk along the country, cannot fail to notice that every corner of Forio tells an event, a story, a different episode. Many pieces of a great history that is lost in the mists of time, and it is a story of battles, traditions, art and faith.
Christmas in lights and music
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year....
This year the wish of our magazine is particularly positive and full of interesting expectations for these islands and clearly for tourists. This year, thanks to the ‘Azienda di Cura e soggiorno’ of the islands of Ischia and Procida, our islands have a single event calendar. Mimmo Barra, Commissioner of the Company since January 2014, has finally innovated the approach of the seven municipalities in the planning of events and was able to coordinate a single calendar avoiding unpleasant overlapping for those who, like many tourists and residents, want to enjoy Christmas to all round. It is an important first step that we, with our magazine, know to incur for the proper and effective promotion of our territory with its folklore, traditions and its vibrant nightlife.
The delights of Nonno Franchino
In Forio, right at the entrance of one of the most beautiful streets of the old town, that one of San Gaetano and a short walk from the harbor, you will find yourself in front of a room with a short story (opened in 2012) but already famous with loyal customers. We’re talking about the bakery NONNO FRANCHINO, built in August 2012, the result of experience handed down from father Maurizio Capuano, Nonno Franchino, already renowned baker of Forio.
It’s Christmas ... and at Christmas, you can do more!
Almost as if it were a duty, at Christmas, all become good, or at least they try. It blooms in us the bud of sharing warmed by the rays of the solidarity of the many events that populate our streets. From the crib of solidarity to the markets of charity. Events organized thanks to the sensitivity of many that offer opportunities to be better people. It is the moment full of joy, friendship, joy and our island wearing the best outfit made of colorful lights, traditional decorations, gospel and jugglers. However, could not Christmas last a whole year? What is it that prevents? Clearly, the “worldliness spiritual” of Christmas... well for those two weeks I would say enough, but the authentic spirituality of Christmas, that one silent and discreet, we should try to practice every day. «Go beyond the surface of things and there encounter what no one could understand, a child lying in the manger and wrapped in swaddling clothes.
