Guide of Capri, Italy

Capri La Dolce Vita, Italy

Since the 1950s, Capri has been one of the favorite destinations for film stars, assuming the role of “society island” par excellence. During those years, the small charming Piazza Umberto I, affectionately known as the “piazzetta”, was the setting for illustrious love affairs and summer betrayals, immediately immortalized by the visiting paparazzi. Many of the most influential fashion icons, from Audrey Hepburn to Jackie Onassis, spent long periods on the island, turning heads and launching fashions, such as the recently undusted Capri pants and canvas and cord sandals. During that period Hollywood stars became an integral part of the environment and it was almost no longer surprising to see Liz Taylor and Lana Turner, Jack Lemmon and Kirk Douglas walk through Capri’s sunny, picturesque little streets.

Capri still preserves this elitist society characteristic, so much so that nothing seems to have changed when you sit down to sip an aperitif in one of the cafès beneath the Clock Tower in the Piazzetta, adding to Capri’s charm.
If you are looking for fun you won’t be disappointed: Capri and Anacapri are home to numerous restaurants, wine bars, lounge bars and other night spots where you can spend the evening and night. The most famous and popular spots include Anema e Core, a famous night spot located in Via Sella Orta, the O Guarracino tavern where you can listen to some great Neapolitan music and the Lanterna Verde, a charming wine bar in Anacapri.
