Anacapri is located in the highest part of the famous island of Capri, opposite the Gulf of Naples. Until the end of the nineteenth century, there was only the "Phoenician scale" that connected the two parts of the territory. Today, a chairlift leads to Mount Solaro from which you can admire a breathtaking view. A short distance away, lies the valley of Cetrella where the hermitage of Santa Maria in Cetrella stands, guarded by OTTAVIO RUSSO. From here, an ancient trail reaches the home of the famous writer Compton Mackenzie. The name of the island, however, comes from the widespread presence of goats. In the Orric Valley, on the other hand, there are cultivated impressive olive trees that overlook the "path of the Fortini", dotted with the majolicas in the shape of a book by the master SERGIO RUBINO. In Anacapri, however, there are also those who, like JOHN ANASTASIO, have chosen the fisherman's craft while the most famous attraction is the extraordinary Blue Cave. For its beauty, the island has always fascinated the world of cinema and modernity was introduced also thanks to taxis brought by the family of ANTONIO DE GREGORIO. Climbing to the top of Anacapri, you can visit the fabulous Villa San Michele while in the area of the Migliera stands the "Philosophical Park". IN this lovely area also lives ANTONIO PARLATO, nature lover and blacksmith by profession. Among southern spices and scents, Lena Gargiulo cooks the typical "Goat ravioli", a symbol of the island. Another important artistic testimony is found in the Baroque Church of St. Michael Archangel, which preserves prestigious majolicate floor and an organ from the 1800s. Finally, Anacapri continues to celebrate life thanks to the cheerful tarantelles composed in this land...
