Question[edit]

The areal shot. Is this really Ischia?

No it is NOT! This is an aerial shot of the penisula jutting out from the mainland, just near Ischia. Its plain to see that it is not Ischia: http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ll=40.811341,14.110222&spn=0.073147,0.154324&t=m&z=13&vpsrc=6— Preceding unsigned comment added by 145.64.134.241 (talk) 08:46, 18 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Questions[edit]

There was only one relevant sentence at Pithecusae to edit in here. Done! --Wetman 09:01, 30 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The municipality should have a separate entry since the islands comprises more than one. --131.111.8.96 09:35, 28 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

As long as all the borghi are linked from here, why not? The reader should find this article is complete, with minutiae expanded, if you like, in individual articles on frazioni. --Wetman 13:09, 5 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Mistake![edit]

Mount Epomeo is the 786 m highest peak in Ischia but it is not a volcano and has never been. It is the result of the rise of the rocks in the last 30,000 years. --87.18.21.68 10:15, 15 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's a horst. But still, shouldn't I add the mountain infobox because the island is a volcano? See http://www.volcano.si.edu/world/volcano.cfm?vnum=0101-03= Guanlongwucaii (talk) 08:12, 27 May 2009 (UTC)Guanlongwucaii[reply]

Cumae connection?[edit]

The earliest Greek colony on the mainland was founded from here, on the coast of Campania at Cumae, likely to have been named for the Euboean city of Cuma, possibly by settlers who fled volcanic activity.

I think I was the one who added this text, perhaps from an official or touristical Ischia site. The Mycenaean settlement here pre-dated Cumae, but was Cumae founded from here, rather than from Kymi in Boeotia? --Wetman 13:09, 5 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ancient reference to monkeys on Pithecusae[edit]

The article states that no ancient sources mention monkeys on the island. This is incorrect. Ovid says 'Bereft of its pilot, Palinurus, he follows the coast by Inarime, Prochyte, and Pithecusae, on its barren hill, named after its inhabitants, from pithecium, a little ape." (Metamorphosis Book XIV, 75-100). 174.82.181.84 (talk) 02:34, 15 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

How is the subject of sanitation on the island progressing?[edit]

I am planning a visit to Ischia in May. My concern is the attempt to improve sanitation. Has there been progress in this area recently? JJniebch (talk) 14:01, 20 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Kindly mention the country Ischia belongs to in the first sentence[edit]

It is beyond ridiculous for an article like this to force readers to hunt to find what country Ischia belongs to.

Please kindly mention which country it is in in the first sentence of the article.

Thanks!
