This is the island of nostalgia. In the 19th century poets, painters and philosophers searched and found inspiration on the isle of Capri. People who like visiting Italy swear that this rocky island in the bay of Naples is magical. A coffee table book with Umberto D'Aniello’s black and white photographs and Claretta Cerio’s narrative captures this magic of Capri. Both the photographer and the author were born on the island, work as tourist guides there. They will take you up into the campanile to look down on the Umberto I. piazza or show you the way up to the Monte Tuoro where you can enjoy an extraordinary panorama. Visits to old villas and gardens, walks along the sea shore or at night along Via Carmelle, a boat trip to the famous cliffs and mysterious grottoes: all this and even more is in store for the reader of this trip to Capri that the designer Yvonne Meyer-Lohr has created for us by publishing this book.
"Capri", Yvonne Meyer-Lohr, Claretta Cerio, Umberto D'Aniello, 320 pages, 175 photos. 98 Euro Prestel.
