Among the lush greenery of Procida looms the colourful buildings of the harbour, hidden behind a wall of vegetation that gives the island its characteristic charm. The picture, in which ropes, buoys and a life buoy are suspended from the wall, captures the contrast between the vibrant colours of the island and the peaceful, green surroundings. The ropes swing casually across the wall, as if they carry the past of the harbour, while the buoys in different shades evoke the power and rhythm of the sea, even if the water is not visible.
The lifebuoy, always a symbol of protection and care, recalls Procida's centuries-long relationship with the sea, which both nurtured and shaped the island. Despite the water now remaining out of sight, you can feel the port's influence in every stone and rope. The colourful houses, wriggling between green leaves, give the island its playful and lively look, a typical feature of the Mediterranean atmosphere.
It is a photograph that captures the beauty of the island of Procida in a moment of silence and nature, where the sea is in the background, yet its presence is unmistakable. Here the island's history meets its natural splendour, a perfect example of the simplicity and charm that make Procida so special.
