Capri Dolce Vita

Product Information

Packed with photography of the island's clifftop villas, glamorous beaches and, of course, that famously azure coastline, it's an immersive experience that happens to look pretty good on your bookshelf, too. If you are an ardent Capriphile and collector of books on the island - as I have been for a decade - and/or if you've spent weeks wandering Capri (again, as I have) - this will not blow you away.

Cherished by everyone from physician Axel Munthe to film director Jean-Luc Godard to literary icons, celebrities, poets, and the jet set, Capri boasts a rich Mediterranean spirit and style that encompasses a wealth of beauty, from gardens to villas to caves to the people walking in the lively Piazzetta. Turning off the personalised advertising setting won’t stop you from seeing Etsy ads, but it may make the ads you see less relevant or more repetitive. Every corner of the island's playful scenery is explored here, including its gardens, villas, caves and the lively Piazzetta – all offering a snapshot of the rich Mediterranean spirit and style that lives on the island all year round. Iconic, charming and sophisticated, the Italian resort island of Capri has been revered for centuries dating back to the Roman Empire.

Some of the technologies we use are necessary for critical functions like security and site integrity, account authentication, security and privacy preferences, internal site usage and maintenance data, and to make the site work correctly for browsing and transactions. Capri Dolce Vita, published by Assouline, takes a glimpse into the celebrated land, which has been luring literary icons, celebrities, poets, and the jet set for eons.This 272-page tome, bound in Aperol-hued orange linen, provides history and context to Capri’s extravagant reputation, interspersed with 200 pages of glossy, high colour pictures. Cherished by everyone from physician Axel Munthe, who recommended its clean air to his patients as a cure for bronchitis; to film director Jean-Luc Godard as the setting for his 1963 film Contempt; to literary icons, celebrities, poets, and the jet set, Capri boasts a rich Mediterranean spirit and style that encompasses a wealth of beauty, from gardens to villas to caves to the people walking in the lively Piazzetta, where cars are prohibited and the island’s playful attitude runs rampant. Several of the captions in the caption index are correct -especially those regarding the physical location of Villa Lysis (it is not in Anacapri, nor is it on Monte Solaro, plus the picture said to show its gardens is actually a detail of the Augustan gardens some distance from the villa in the centre of Capri town -these are a few examples of this inaccuracy).

However, it is a very welcome coffee table addition to the Caprese library and a good first book for the neophyte. It began with the desire to create a new, contemporary style of book, using the couple's experienced eye for visually rich stories and compelling narratives.
