Capri Dolce Vita

Capri, a resort island dating back to the heyday of the Roman Empire, has long been a special destination full of ancient charm. From physician Axel Munthe, who advised his patients to breathe the clean air as a cure for bronchitis, to film director Jean-Luc Godard, who used the island as the backdrop for his 1963 film Contempt, Capri is beloved by literary icons, celebrities, poets and the jet set. Capri has a rich Mediterranean spirit and style that encompasses a plethora of beauty, from gardens and villas to caves and the people strolling on the bustling Piazzetta, where cars are banned and the island's playful attitude has free rein. Capri Dolce Vita offers a look at this legendary place through the ages and celebrates paradise on earth.
