Travel Guide "Capri"

Capri, an Italian resort island whose history dates back to the heyday of the Roman Empire, has long been an extraordinary destination full of ancient charm. Cherished by figures such as the physician Axel Munthe, who recommended the pure air to his patients as a remedy for bronchitis, to the film director Jean-Luc Godard, who used the island as the setting for his film Le Mépris (1963), to literary icons, celebrities, poets, and the international jet set – Capri unites a rich Mediterranean spirit and style.

These are reflected in an abundance of beauty: from gardens and villas to grottoes, and the people strolling through the lively Piazzetta, where cars are forbidden and the island's playful way of life is ever-present. The travel photobook Capri Dolce Vita takes a look at this fabled corner of the world through the ages and is also a tribute to paradise on earth.
