Popular festivals in Ischia: festivals, religious events and re-enactments
The religious manifestations of Ischia, combined with others of different genesis, constitute a very fertile cultural and folkloristic humus that handed down historical customs and also involve tourists who are catapulted into a scenographic dimension, almost like a Cinema.
