It will be its beauty, its fascination, its charming inhabitants, its reputation for frivolity, for excess, that whiff of scandal that is mixed with its intense perfumes .... magic Capri ... if I could, now, I would seat myself in the Piazzetta, sipping a bubbly or watching the passers-by, or on the asperity of one of the Forts, to enjoy the breath of the wind and the savour of the sea. To enjoy myself under the shade of the multicoloured beach umbrellas of Marina Piccola, on rocks polished by the sea ... And taste the “cuisine of simplicity”, a Capri salad, some local fish and a glass of inebriating white wine. On Capri, the distinguishing feature is the hospitality and kindness. And yes, Capri is all there for the taking. Two hills, two centres (Capri and Anacapri) two especially famous attractions (the Blue Grotto and the Faraglioni) and two versions of almost all the stories. There has been a lot of talk in the past about everything that is excessive and artificial: the celebrities, the orgies, the frivolity and a touch of crazy and decadent wickedness. Capri is universally known for its great natural beauties, for its grottoes and its peaks, for its elegant villas and its luxuriant gardens, and for the kindness, the helpfulness and the simplicity of its 12,000 inhabitants. Until the invasion of celebrities in the ‘fifties and ‘sixties, the most VIP inhabitant of Capri was the Emperor Tiberius, who lived there from 27 to 37 AD. And yes...Capri is all there for the taking.
