ISLAND OF ISCHIA

THE THERMAL WATERS: A GOLD MINE.

The thermal waters of Ischia have really become the gold mine of the island. Angelo Rizzoli (Cavaliere del Lavoro 1888-1970) launched Ischia onto the international tourist circuit in the 1950's and 60's by building luxury hotels with spas included creating the slogan "Ischia the island of eternal youth". Therapy for rheumatism, arthritis, obesity, ginecological conditions and the nervous system are available on the island.

The hotel structures have recently developed a tourism of health and beauty with health, disintoxication and beauty centers which have created much interest in the American market. It is only on Ischia that one can find thermal gardens with pools at different temperatures, from 28 to 40 degrees centigrade, close to the sea and allowing one to have various treatments.

The largest thermal complexes are in Casamicciola - "Castiglione", Lacco Ameno - "Negombo", Forio "Poseidon", Sant'Angelo - "Tropical" & "Aphrodite" and Ischia Porto "Eden".
These complexes open early April and close end October and are visited by an international clientele of all age groups.

FOLK

One of the oldest traditions of the island of Ischia is the folk dance called "N'drezzata" literally translated "Entwined". It is composed of 18 male dancers, four musicians ( two clarinet players and two drummers) who keep time in this dance of antique origins. Only residents of the village of Buonopane, in the Borough of Barano can become members of this dance troupe the secrets of weh are passed down from generation to generation.
The 18 dancers, led by the "Corporal" who recites a speech in an old Neopolitan dialect, form two circles of 9 dancers.

N'drezzata

Each man holding in his right hand a short wooden staff and in the other a small wooden sword: on the "Corporals" order and in time with the musicians, the dancers whirl and entwine amongst themselves at thor same time 'fighting' with eaeh other, almost destroying the held wooden instruments.
