Description:
We examine recent and historical sources with a view to
reconstructing the circumstances leading in 1854 to the opening
of the natural harbour of Ischia, the execution phases of the works
and the morphological changes arising. Since the late 17th
century Ischia, an active volcanic island, has been a major
European destination for spa treatment. It underwent a period of
change after the harbour was opened up, which represented not
only an outlet towards the mainland but also an important factor
of social and cultural aggregation for the island. Our analysis also
accounts of the geology of Ischia Harbour, the observations of the
current state of the island and issues concerning the increase in
volcanic and seismic risk resulting from urban expansion and the
increase in tourism since the first half of the 20th century.
