The volcanic island of Ischia has shown to have an important seismogenic potential, being the location of several destructive earthquakes, e.g. 1881, 1883 and 2017. The damage caused by these earthquakes was more connected to the proximity of the source to the surface rather than to their magnitude (M<5.2). The need to monitor and to model this seismicity required the installation of a dense and modern seismic network. The first modern seismic station on the island was installed in 1993 and the network was successively improved with time. A meaningful improvement to the network was performed after the August 21, 2017 earthquake. The network currently counts of 11 sites with velocimeters and sometimes also accelerometers installed on. We analysed the characteristics of this new seismic network in comparison with the seismicity that characterize the area to mark a starting point for the future seismological analysis. The network is currently able to locate shallow earthquakes with magnitude greater or equal to 0 in the whole island.
