Island of Ischia ~ Naples, Italy

May29Image Credit: Click on Image

This gorgeous Mediterranean island in the Tyrrhenian Sea served as the 1950s-era set of “The Talented Mr. Ripley,” a 1999 psychological thriller starring Matt Damon, Jude Law, Gwyneth Paltrow, and the late Philip Seymour Hoffman. It became a massively popular tourist destination, attracting millions each year for its natural beauty and thermal spas. The island was also featured in the 1963 historical drama “Cleopatra,” starring Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor.

Linking up with a bunch of fantastic peeps from the blogosphere who host Wordless Wednesday – Betty, Steve, image-in-ing, Keith, Cathy, Sara, Esme Salon, CatSynth, and Suzana.
