Isca is an island near Punta Campanella that overlooks the coastal area of Massa Lubrense on the Amalfi side of the Sorrento Peninsula.
Scoglio di Isca is surrounded by lush and fascinating nature, typical of the Campania coast, which offers a great variety of landscapes and ecosystems. The waters around Isca are clear and transparent, characterized by shades of blue and emerald green. The rocky coastline also offers splendid opportunities for snorkeling and diving.
The vegetation around the Scoglio di Isca is typical of the Mediterranean maquis, with evergreen shrubs, olive trees, prickly pear and aromatic plants such as rosemary and thyme. This flora contributes to a wild and evocative environment, rich in scents and colors.
The Scoglio di Isca is closely linked to the life and work of Eduardo De Filippo, one of the greatest Italian playwrights and actors of the 20th century. Eduardo, born in Naples in 1900, was a prolific playwright, director, and actor, best known for his brilliant and touching comedies that portrayed daily life and Neapolitan traditions.
Its strange characteristics, that is, being part island and part mainland, attracted the interest of the distinguished playwright, De Filippo used the island to rest between the many tours that his theatrical activities required. From this magical place he drew inspiration for new masterpieces that have become part of the Italian theatrical tradition.
