Procida, Lamartine's island of love

Between Naples and the imposing island of Ischia appeared Procida, discovered by Alphonse Lamartine in 1811. He found refuge there following a storm, aged 18. Volcanic rocks rising dramatically out of the sea, narrow streets clinging to the hillsides, luxuriant gardens behind age-old walls; the romantic young author was conquered.
