Despite its small size, Procida has a rich history and vibrant culture that attract visitors looking for a more authentic and less touristy experience.
This stunning island has been the setting for several literary works and films and was used a filming location for "Il Postino" and "The Talented Mr. Ripley".

The Marina Corricella, with its pastel-coloured buildings, draws cinematographers and visitors alike.
In 2022, Procida was named the Italian Capital of Culture, which brought increased attention to the island and highlighted its cultural and historical significance. This recognition has helped boost its profile as a travel destination, but it still retains a relatively low-key and tranquil atmosphere.
