A small hamlet embedded in the nature of Ischia Port, a true and proper jewel, rich in history and traditions which annually on 26th August in honour of the name day of Sant'Alessandro,comes to life and as the most beautiful jewel enclosed in an enchanted treasure chest, displays all its splendour. 

Sant'Angelo, a small seaside village on the south of the island, on September 29 and 30, renews the homage to the Patron saint every year.
Don Vincenzo Fiorentino, son of the close village of Panza, has been parish priest of Sant’Angelo for over 50 years, leading one of the smallest parishes of the island, active as such since 1905 after years of “dependence” from the S. Parish Maria del Carmine in Serrara.
Tourists and villagers who do not hesitate to book their stay in the hotels in the area in advance expect these wonderful days annually.

To me the sea is the eternal union of my gaze, of my land, with the future horizon of infinity. It is the timeless projection, which manages to make past, present and future coexist in an eternal maliconic joy. It is the most ductile essence of human and animal matter; it is the absurd game of life that traces the origins of life in the cosmos.

From 20 September to October 6, 2024 - Going to wineries Trekking in the vineyard, walks and tastings to discover the peasant island.

There is a fascinating and intriguing way to discover the earthly soul of the island of Ischia, following its most suggestive corners and penetrating its millenary history: being inspired by that fil-rouge that is wine, whose intertwining with this extraordinary reality are lost in the mists of time, when the settlers of Euboea chose to stop, kidnapped by a unique landscape and a fertile and volcanic land.
Today, wine is one of the distinctive features of an island that is ever more convinced of food and wine and environmental tourism, proudly displaying its terraced landscapes, the fruit of the work of man that has made the most rugged hills cultivable and recounting the a thousand stories of heroic winemakers, who were able to industrialize themselves by giving life to wineries that collect national and international prizes.

To me the sea is home. The course of the foam when I choose the corridor that runs along the abyss. Where I come from, where I am, where I will go. For me the sea is liquid air. To breathe with full sips of apnea. To me the sea is silence that makes castles in mid-air in depth. To me the sea is the vertigo of solitude every time I look down.

What is the sea for me? Better, who it is, since I do not distinguish it from a family member of the smallest circle, of those of whom I carry an important percentage of DNA. In fact, there was not a precise moment in which we met. It has always been a natural, even obvious presence.

If the sea is synonymous of liberation and escape from everyday life, the inexhaustible sense of infinity that takes your breath away at every step that brings you closer to the horizon

The Sant’Anna celabration dates back to a tradition of the last century. On July 26, each year, pregnant women went in procession to worship the Mother of Madonna who was in a chapel in Cartaromana Bay. They were accompanied by a procession of anglers’ boats, which for the occasion adorned the hull with bushes and flower garlands.

Santu Nicola for the islanders, Epomeo is the island’s mountain, shaped by nature for millennia. For geology, it is a volcano-tectonic horst, with a typical green color due to the long contact of the tuff with boiling mineral waters.

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.

It was called Aenaria - from Latin “aenum” which means “metal” - the Roman citadel existed since the fourth century BC up to 130-150 A.D. and suddenly was destroyed by a volcanic eruption or an earthquake. It was in the stretch of water closed between the Aragonese Castle and the cliffs of St. Anna. It was an industrial center where people worked the metal (lead, iron, copper) and the clay. Today this town is submerged at a depth of about 9 meters.

For the 90th edition there will be three boats that will parade. The commentary of the evening entrusted to Carmen Cuomo with the great return of Beppi Banfi's “off-screen” voice. Parade of boats, castle fire and pyromusical fires, in the middle there will be music with artists from Ischia and beyond. Particularly involved are the students of the Higher Institutes and also the Italian Post Office will celebrate the 90th edition of the festival most loved by Ischitans.

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.

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.
