HOBBIES AND INTERESTS
Music, Art and Literature are my greatest passions. In my free time I like going to the cinema, going to the museums, reading and listening to live music. I love fishing and diving in Summer.

ACCOMMODATION
I live with my parents and my house is located in a garden. It is surrounded by lemon and orange trees. The bedroom is big, quiet and comfortable.

ISLAND, EXCURSIONS AND ATTRACTIONS
I’m from a very small island off the coast of Naples and its name is Procida. It’s less popular than Capri and Ischia but its beauty and calmness have always inspired writers, poets and moviemakers from all – over the world. Here Elsa Morante wrote one of my favourite books, that is “L’isola di Arturo” (“Arturo’s Island”). Procida is also known as the set of many movies, such as “The Postman” and “The Talented Mr. Ripley”. I think it’s the right place for those who love the sea and want to “escape the rat race”. Moreover, I also share an apartment with my partner in Napoli, so you can have the chance to visit this amazing city, too.

PROCIDA (NAPOLI)
Procida, the smallest island in the Campanian Archipelago of volcanic origin, is connected to the Island of Vivara by a narrow bridge. Not only is the sea an important trait of Procida, but also its narrow streets and churches, which somehow pair the tranquility of the beach, with walks through the town center to admire the architecture of centuries past: worth visiting in particular are the Abbey of San Michele Arcangelo, which had a central role in Procida's religious and cultural history. It rises on the Terra Murata Promontory, with the sea a steep drop below. Two beaches that visitors should make every effort to reach are the Beach at Pozzo Vecchio, a protagonist in scenes from the beloved film "Il Postino", and Chiaiolella Beach, the Island’s most frequented.
