THIS IS ITALY WITH SOUL If you look at images promoting the Campania region in southern Italy, alongside gratuitous pizza pics, longing shots of iconic footballer Diego Maradona and photos of vespas careering through narrow streets, you’ll usually see a picturesque seaside village resplendent in pastel shades.

FOR THE PROCIDA MAP ASK TONY PONTICIELLO This is not the "classic tourist's map" with generic information, its peculiarity is the way distances between red circles (reference points) are measured: "steps" "paces".

If you want to know how long each walk takes, divide the number of paces by 100 and you get the time in minutes. Procida - The Island of Steps | apassi.it
