Specialist Notes
Non-commercial limited edition. The scuopolo, today Palazzo Malcovati, is one of the oldest buildings in the village of Ischia Ponte. Before entering the heart of the village, a small alley takes us towards the sea, where this building stands, the location of several films set on the island. It is a defense tower built in 1563 for the use of the then governor of Ischia Don Orazio Tuttavilla, count Di Sarno.
