Procida is the smallest of the three islands in the Gulf of Naples — smaller than Capri, less visited than Ischia, and since being named Italy's Capital of Culture for 2022, increasingly known internationally for what it has always been to those who knew it: the most authentically Italian island in the Gulf, the fishing village pastel facade of the Marina Corricella that has appeared in The Talented Mr Ripley, and a community that has maintained its working fishing culture alongside the growing artistic and cultural attention.

For Marina Corricella. The most photogenic harbour in the Gulf of Naples — the stacked pastel facades of yellow, pink, orange, and terracotta above the fishing boats. The colour palette of Procida is extraordinary; the natural linen wardrobe responds to it in warm naturals and earth tones rather than competing with the architecture. A PP linen shirt in a warm earth tone or natural with linen trousers and leather shoes. The pastel palette of Procida rewards natural fabric in warm, connected colourways.

For Terra Murata. The fortified medieval village at the top of the island — the Palazzo d'Avalos, the Abbey of San Michele, the views across the Gulf to Naples and Vesuvius. A PP linen shirt in white or a warm natural with linen trousers and leather shoes. The historic and religious context rewards covered and composed dress.

For the beaches. La Chiaiolella, Lido di Procida — the small beaches on the western side of the island. White PP linen over natural swim shorts, leather sandals.

For the ferry connection. Procida is reached by ferry from Naples (35 minutes) or from Ischia (20 minutes) — a PP linen shirt in white or a warm natural is the natural wardrobe for the Gulf of Naples crossing and the island combination trip.
