Casamicciola Terme is a charming seaside town located on the northern coast of the island of Ischia in the Campania region of Italy. Its history as a thermal resort can be traced back to ancient times when the Romans first discovered the therapeutic properties of the island's thermal springs.

During the 19th century, Casamicciola Terme experienced a period of popularity and growth as a fashionable spa destination, attracting visitors from all over Europe, including writers, artists, and nobility. However, the town faced significant challenges when it was struck by a devastating earthquake in 1883, which resulted in substantial damage to its buildings and infrastructure.

Despite this, Casamicciola Terme was rebuilt, and today, it remains a sought-after destination for those seeking relaxation, wellness, and scenic beauty.
