First, DU's software does not render many links properly. In that case, you have to use the link tool (two links in a chain). Select text, click on the tool, and paste the URL.

My cousin, an artist and author, sent the following.

. Take a boat tour around the island (last time I was there, they were only in Italian and German). It’s amazing to see the how this volcanic island just pushed itself out of the water
. Visit Castello Aragonese. Walk the causeway from Ischia Porto. Maybe find a guide.
. Visit Forio and its beautiful little Chiese del Soccorso
. If you’re adventurous, have a mud bath and massage
. Visit a beach or two
. Walk around the port at sunset
You can take a public bus that circumnavigates the island. It’s a cheap way to get around, and you get to see more than the average tourist.

In gratitude, I'd like to mention her book Italianità: Contemporary Art Inspired by the Italian Immigrant Experience

More about it here: https://italianita-art.com/italianit---the-book

This is not a solicitation to buy, per DU rules, Ma acquista se vi piace

And, as Sean Bianco, of "At the Opera", linked previously, says: "keep opera in your heart."
