În câteva cuvinte
Insula Punta Pennata din Italia este scoasă la vânzare, generând două perspective: un paradis privat pentru investiții sau un parc public pentru comunitate, o alegere între lux și accesibilitate publică.
Private Mediterranean Island For Sale
Private islands in the Mediterranean Sea are rare, but Punta Pennata, a sliver of land in the Bay of Naples with the crumbling walls of an ancient Roman villa hidden amongst its lush flora, has been on the market for months. Located approximately 20 miles from the center of Naples, the narrow island, with its steep cliffs, stands like an exclamation point just outside the town of Bacoli.
"Surrounded by lush Mediterranean vegetation and Roman vestiges, it offers a fascinating and unique retreat," states the promotional description from Sotheby's International Realty. Punta Pennata, it adds, is an "exclusive opportunity for a prestigious investment."
This is one version of the island's future. Another comes from Josi Gerardo Della Ragione, the mayor of Bacoli, who envisions the island as a public park. In private ownership for decades and rarely visited, its untouched flora would attract residents and visitors alike to a lesser-known part of the Italian coast, according to the mayor.
"It's like Neverland," he said in an interview in his office, evoking Peter Pan's fictional island. "It's a place where you can go just to dream with your eyes open," he added. "Bacoli is small, but it can still be chaotic."
