A competition to identify the 'Graziella' among the young Procidans who, for the occasion, wear the rich and scenic traditional dress, now handed down from generation to generation, which was described with great precision by Lamartine in his work set in early 19th century Procida.
And again in honour of the immortal literary character, a few years ago, in the heart of ancient Procida, going up to Terra Murata, the 13th-century palace that originally belonged to Giovanni da Procida, which in the 17th century became the Conservatorio delle Orfane (Conservatory of Orphans) and is now the Palazzo della Cultura, hosts the Graziella House Museum on the second floor, with the reconstruction of a typical Procidan house of the 19th century, rich in furnishings and period testimonies, which aims to hand down the customs and traditions of the island and enhance Procidan culture through the protagonist of the literary work that first made Procida known in Europe.
