Ischia is a beautiful island in the Tyrrhenian Sea off the west coast of Italy, about 26 km (16 miles) west of Naples.
More recently Ischia has become a frequent backdrop for Italian and American movies such as “Vacanze ad Ischia”, “Appuntamento ad Ischia”, and "The Talented Mr.Ripley". The island has also been used as a cinematic stand-in for the Island of Capri.
