Abstract

Almost a hypertrophy of media narratives characterizes the island of Procida in 2022, the year in which it is elected Capital of Culture. Natascia Festa thus examines the case of Giuseppe Marotta and Alberto Moravia. The first, coming from the success of L’oro di Napoli, in 1948 published in «Le vie del mondo» the reportage Procida, the girlfriend of the sea with photographs of an almost metaphysical beauty by Bruno Stefani. Even before describing the landscape, in the reportage Marotta compares himself with the literary image layered on it: it is the houses that inhabit the landscape. The island “that cannot be seen”, however, is that of Alberto Moravia: Procida hides, disappears, loses its monochromatism and becomes total white, as if it were a piece of the Orient set in the Mediterranean.
