Capri, Italy

“Capri, queen of rock/ in your dress/ the color of amaranth and

lily/ where I lived, experiencing/ happiness and pain, the vine

brimming with/ splendid bunches of grapes/ that I conquered on land...”

These intense, passionate verses were written by the Chilean poet, Pablo

Neruda, describing the island that hosted him and has enchanted

hundreds of illustrious figures across the centuries, from the Emperor

Tiberius to Lenin, and from writers such as Graham Greene to Hollywood

stars.
