[Procida Island, Italy] We recommend the colorful Corricella district

#islandtrip I visited Procida Island by boat from Naples, Italy. This island is also famous for being the location for the Italian movie "Il bostino (The Postman)." Mario, a poor and simple postman, meets Pablo Neruda, a poet who was exiled from Chile due to a political upheaval. Through Pablo's poetry, Mario awakens to the words to express his feelings and is able to speak of love. The friendship between the two deepens beyond that of a poet and a postman, or a teacher and a student. Mario records "Eight Beautiful Things on the Island" for Pablo, who has returned to his home country of Chile. The ripples and big waves on the cliffs. The wind blowing against the cliffs, the wind in the bushes. The sound of his father's sad net. The sound of the lamenting bells of the Church of Our Lady and the voice of the priest. The sound of the starry sky. The heartbeat of his child in his lover Beatrice. And finally, Mario's words. "When you left, I thought you took all the beautiful things with you. But in reality, you left a lot behind." The last scene where Pablo hears this is very touching. You can feel the fragments of the beautiful things that Mario has been searching for here. In the Corricella district, a 15-minute walk from the port, colorful houses in pastel colors of pink, lemon yellow, blue, and white are lined up along the sea so that fishing boats can find their houses. The cute scenery is so exciting. The sight of the laundry hanging in the air against the backdrop of the houses is like a scene from a movie! In fact, there are no other tourist attractions besides this colorful port. But it is fun to walk around the island while watching the local people's lives. It is a recommended travel spot where you can enjoy the colors of the sky and the sea, enjoy delicious seafood, and above all, experience the rustic southern Italy. There are several restaurants in the small port, so it is recommended to visit at lunchtime.
