- Procida (Italian: [ˈprɔːtʃida]; Neapolitan: Proceta [ˈprɔːʃətə]) is one of the Flegrean Islands off the coast of Naples in southern Italy. The island is between Cape Miseno and the island of Ischia. With its tiny satellite island of Vivara, it is a comune of the Metropolitan City of Naples, in the region of Campania.
Italian Capital of Culture 2022
Procida has been chosen from among several Italian candidate cities to be the Italian Capital of Culture 2022. On 18 January 2020, the Italian Minister for Cultural Heritage and Activities and Tourism, Dario Franceschini announced the reasons that led to this choice: the cultural project has well structured local and regional public and private support, giving importance to the heritage and landscape dimension of the place.
In relation to this, the artisanal dimension has been emphasised, given by the small workshops that characterise the tradition of the Mediterranean islands. The project encompasses characteristics such as authenticity, sustainability of development, culture of the islands and coastal areas of the Bel Paese.[4]
The title of Italian Capital of Culture
Bergamo and Brescia (2023): this is an Italian Parliament choice since these cities were hardest hit by the first emergency phase in 2020.
Procida (2022)
Parma (2020-2021): the title in this case has a duration of two years due to the Covid-19 pandemic emergency
Palermo (2018)
Pistoia (2017)
Mantua (2016)
Cagliari, Lecce, Perugia, Ravenna e Siena (2015)
As it can be seen from the list above here, no city was given the title of winner in 2019 as Matera was declared European Capital of Culture 2019.
Location of Procida in the Tyrrhenian Sea
Etymology
The island derives its name from the Latin name Prochyta. Προχύτη/Prochýtē means 'poured out' in Ancient Greek. According to another theory, Prochyta comes from the Ancient Greek verb prokeitai, meaning 'it lies forth', because of the appearance of the island seen from the sea.
That was a very helpful video. For anyone never having been in that area and planning to take the ferry to Procida (me), that is a great video to show the area and what to expect.
Thanks!
It's Procida not Procidia.

It's pronounced, pro-shid-a.
Is it usually easy to get tickets day of? Or do they tend to sell out?
I think its pretty easy to get them the day of the sailing... But I always like to be safe. =) So if its a must see event I would swing by and get them early... Better safe than sorry. =)
Thanks for watching my video. =)
