Capri
has enchanted visitors for millennia. In the 4th Century B.C.,
the Phoenicians settled Capri, followed soon after by the
Greeks and the Romans. The Roman Emperor Tiberius, who ruled
from 27-37, built 12 villas scattered all around the island,
then visited a different one each night to indulge his carnal
pleasures. In the early 1800’s, the British started
developing Capri, but the French momentarily took the island
away.
The influence from Roman times can still be seen in the
form of ruins scattered all over the island. Today, it’s
tourists who scatter all over the island, filling the town
during summer months.
Capri has also been an inspiration for numerous authors.
English author Noel Coward was enchanted here, as was Graham
Greene. Norman Douglas lived in Capri around the turn of the
20th Century. His most famous novel, Summer Wind, was set
here.
