Capri Island is the new guide that not only takes you to all the islands sites of unique natural beauty, but also features the history, art, architecture and aspects of local life-style that have made Capri one of the most famous islands in the world.

You can access amazing art work, spectacular photos, authoritative texts, and an original selection of architectural gems through an interface whose visual impact reflects the spirit and charm which have attracted and tied people to Capri through the ages: heroes of mythology, emperors, monarchs, pirates, writers, poets, painters...
