Description
Just off the coast of Naples and Salerno, between Cape Miseno and Amalfi, is the island of Capri. The only access is by boat. Upon arrival, one can sense of shift of color, fragrances, architecture, and a peaceful atmosphere.
Caesar Augustus was the first to discover the charm of Capri when he visited the island in 29 BC. So taken was he with the island's beauty that he traded the nearby fertile Ischia for it with the city of Naples. This marked the beginning of Augustan rule. He was subsequently followed by his successor Tiberius who embarked on an intense building program between 27 and 37 A.D, resulting in the construction of 12 villas.
