Capri has always been known to be a stunning destination bursting with ancient charm. This Italian island that dates back to the height of the Roman Empire was cherished by many A-List celebrities, poets and literary icons, as well as physician Axel Munthe, who recommended its clean air to his patients as a cure for bronchitis and film director Jean-Luc Godard who chose it to be the setting for his 1963 film “Contempt”.

This haven is filled with a rich Mediterranean spirit and style that redefine beauty. And to honor such an iconic place, Cesare Cunaccia gives you through his book, “Capri Dolce Vita”, a look at this magical corner of the world through the ages. From the gardens to the villas and the people walking in the lively Piazzetta where cars are prohibited, this release captures the charming essence of an island that never loses its captivating spirit.
