Nisida is now connected to the mainland by a stone bridge built in the early 1900's. The island was home to the infamous Bourbon Prison during the 19th century. During the second World War, the island was occupied by the British Army and called "55 Military Prison". Between 1946 and 1961 the island was home to the Accademia Aeronautica, Italian Air Force Academy. Currently it houses a juvenile detention facility and is owned by the Italian Navy.
