Capri Dolce Vita is a celebration of paradise on earth, offering rare glimpses of this fabled corner of the world through the ages. Capri, a resort island dating back to the height of the Roman Empire, has long been an extraordinary destination full of ancient charm. Cherished by everyone, from the Swedish physician Axel Munthe – who recommended its clean air to his patients as a cure for bronchitis – to film director Jean-Luc Godard, who used it as the setting for his 1963 film Contempt. Literary icons, celebrities, poets and the jet set alike have all been drawn to Capri. The island boasts a rich Mediterranean spirit and style that encompasses a wealth of beauty, from gardens to villas to caves, and is embodied by the people walking in the lively Piazzetta, where cars are prohibited and the island’s playful attitude runs rampant.
