The island of Capri in the Bay of Naples has been appreciated for its striking natural beauty ever since ancient times when Roman emperors such as Tiberius began building their villas on the island. In the 19th century, the island became famous throughout Europe because many artists and authors sojourned there in search of inspiration. Today Capri is the playground of the rich and famous and is known for its exclusive hotels, fabulous restaurants, and haute couture shopping. Buona visita!
