[edit] Questions

There was only one relevant sentence at Pithecusae to edit in here. Done! --Wetman 09:01, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

The municipality should have a separate entry since the islands comprises more than one. --131.111.8.96 09:35, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

As long as all the borghi are linked from here, why not? The reader should find this article is complete, with minutiae expanded, if you like, in individual articles on frazioni. --Wetman 13:09, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mistake!

Mount Epomeo is the 786 m highest peak in Ischia but it is not a volcano and has never been. It is the result of the rise of the rocks in the last 30,000 years. --87.18.21.68 10:15, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cumae connection?

The earliest Greek colony on the mainland was founded from here, on the coast of Campania at Cumae, likely to have been named for the Euboean city of Cuma, possibly by settlers who fled volcanic activity.

I think I was the one who added this text, perhaps from an official or touristical Ischia site. The Mycenaean settlement here pre-dated Cumae, but was Cumae founded from here, rather than from Kymi in Boeotia? --Wetman 13:09, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
