Procida (Neapolitan: Proceta) (Italian pronunciation: [ˈprɔːtʃida]) 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. Some 16th-15th c BCE Achaean objects have been found on Procida. Traces have also been found on Vivara, an islet off the southwest coast of Procida. The first historically attested Greek settlers arrive from the Aegean to this island during the 8th c BCE, followed by other Greeks coming from nearby Cuma. The island is mentioned by the Roman satirist, Juvenal, in Sat. 3, 5, as a barren place. Later during Roman rule, Procida became a renowned resort for the patrician class of Rome. Source: Wikipedia
