Capital of well-being

By Giuseppe Brandi
Mayor of <%=ischia%>

Incomparable delights await tourists who decide to visit us.

In my frequent travels with Alitalia, I have always been impressed by its in-flight magazine Ulisse, especially for the high quality of its contents. As a result, I find the idea of taking part directly, as mayor of <%=ischia%>, very exciting. <%=ischia%> is. history and culture from 730 BC to the present day; <%=ischia%> is. breathtaking views, unique colours and flavours; <%=ischia%> is. sea so crystal-clear that it is full of dolphins; <%=ischia%> is. fish cooked in the steam of the hot springs on the seashore; <%=ischia%> is. fishermen preparing their nets, and shepherds guarding their flocks on the slopes of Mount Epomeo; <%=ischia%> is. magnificent depths where giant Posidonia seaweed grows in abundance, and chestnut woods where here and there the rare wild papyrus can be found; <%=ischia%> is. a swim at dawn in the shadow of the Castle and relaxing in the thermal parks; <%=ischia%> is. miraculous waters and wellness, a promise of health and serenity; <%=ischia%> is. the unique spectacle of the Feast of the Sea on the rocks of Sant'Anna, the period costumes in the procession of Sant'Alessandro and the infectious rhythm of the 'Ndrezzata.
<%=ischia%> is. a combination of unique, heaven-sent gifts that we all have the duty to preserve.
The Municipality of <%=ischia%> is already taking a series of steps aimed at further improving the island and above all, with the councillor responsible for tourism, Davide Conte, we shall keep a close eye on what we're offering and what people want, in order to consolidate the undisputed role of "Wellness Capital" traditionally attributed to <%=ischia%>.
We extend a cordial welcome to all Ulisse readers and look forward to seeing them on <%=ischia%>.
