Forio is the second town on the island of Ischia, by population and importance.

Forio has a surface area of ​​13 Kmq with a population of about 12500 inhabitants and its altitude ranges from 0 meters above sea level to 700 in Falanga areas. It is divided into the fortified villages of Forio and Panza with other peripheral villages (Monterone, Cuotto, Citara). It is the only municipality that retains its historic center with alleys, churches, sight towers and unmarked monuments in their structure . Main Monuments: the Church of the Relief (on the postage stamp of Poste Italiane) dedicated to Santa Maria della Neve, the Torrione, the church of San Francesco da Paola, the church of the Archconfraternity of Santa Maria delle Grazie called Visitapoveri, Pontifical S. Maria Basilica of Loreto, Church of S. Vito, parish church of S. Leonardo Abate, S. Maria al Monte.

If Ischia is the island's shopping center, Forio can be defined as a cultural one. In the 1950s he was an international center for famous performers (Luchino Visconti, Pierpaolo Pasolini, Sir William Walton, Eduardo De Filippo, Liz Taylor and Richard Burton), culture (Elsa Morante, Alberto Moravia, Renato Guttuso, Auden, Pablo Neruda ), politics (Pietro Nenni) and jet-set (Jackelin Kennedy, Aristotle Onassis) and many more. The Forio coast, with its continuous recesses and bosses, allows bathing not just on long beaches but also in places secluded. With little effort you can reach Zaro or, in Panza, the really unique bay of Sorgeto that, by the presence of hot water pools, is, in any season, an evocative destination for a "night bath".
