From the Cup of Nestor to the America’s Cup! 🏆⛵ Isola Di Ischia Welcomes the Future of Sailing.By a dear friend Minicucci Piero ,

Lacco Ameno, Ischia 🇮🇹In the breathtaking Bay of Naples, a historic milestone is happening. The American America's Cup team has chosen the beautiful town of Lacco Ameno in the anchenting Island of Ischia as their home base!To sailors and dreamers, this feels like destiny. Just off our shores nearly 2,800 years ago, ancient Greeks founded one of their first western colonies and crafted the legendary "Cup of Nestor." From that ancient treasure to the modern, flying yachts of today, our island is a bridge through maritime history. 🌊The same waters that carried ancient explorers will now host the most advanced sailing machines on Earth. For us, this is more than sport—it's culture, history, and passion coming together.We invite the world to experience our island's magic and hospitality, as warm and bubbling as our famous natural hot springs.Here in Lacco Ameno, history isn't locked in museums. It’s alive on the water.
Benvenuti a Ischia! ☀️⚓
