The "Palio di
Sant'Anna" |
|
|
Every year on July 26th it is celebrated the
Feast on the Saint Ann Rocks in the espanse of water between the
Aragonese Castle and the rocks, at the foot of the Tower of
Michelangelo.
This Feast derives from an age-old custom, because St Ann is an
important figure of island folklore. This feast was born in
1932, but it was interrupted during the Second World War; after
it was revived. And although the changeability of the times,
nowadays it conserves |
|
 |
|
its wealth and above all its charming poetry. |
|
|
|
Among hundreds of berthed or wandering boats in
the roadstead, thousands of people on the rocks or on the old
Aragonese bridge enjoy for hours the more and more majestic and
adornd boats, inspired to the history and traditions of Ischia.
Then fireworks illuminate the Castle and the Tower of
Michelangelo. So also tourists enjoy this beautiful performance.
And with passing of the years, thanks to the Administration, the
feast involves not only all the municipalities of the island,
but Procida and other sea localities of the gulf. |

Some
years ago was born the
Palio di Sant’Anna:
every municipality takes part
|
with a boat and wins the most characteristic
boat.
