  • I Origine Calcarea, Capri L'isola Mediterranea Che Ha Visto Nel Tempo Transitare Intellettuali, Artisti E Scrittori, Tutti
    CAPRI Il Comune di Capri dà il nome all’isola che comprende i comuni di Capri e di Anacapri. L’isola azzurra è il naturale prolungamento della penisola sorrentina, le rocce chiare dei Faraglioni sembrano essersi staccate dalla Baia di Ieranto e aver preso il largo, la comune natura carsica ne è testimonianza. Capri ha ispirato scrittori, poeti e registi che l’hanno scelta come location dei loro film. Una combinazione di natura, cultura e mondanità, intorno ad un mare che va dal blu al turchese dell’animata piazzetta e dei locali circostanti che fanno di Capri una meta irrinunciabile. Caratteristici di Capri sono i celebri Faraglioni, tre piccoli isolotti rocciosi a poca distanza dalla riva che creano un effetto scenografico e paesaggistico; ad essi sono stati attribuiti anche dei nomi per distinguerli: Stella per quello attaccato alla terraferma, Faraglione di Mezzo per quello frapposto agli altri due e Faraglione di Fuori (o Scopolo) per quello più lontano dall'isola[1]. Controversa è la questione etimologica. Le due ipotesi più accreditate sono quella latina di “Capreae” (capre), per la fauna predominante costituita da capre selvatiche, e quella greca di “Kapros” (cinghiale), del quale sono rinvenuti numerosi avanzi fossili. L’isola fu anche chiamata insula Telonis dal nome di Telone che, secondo Virgilio, era re dell’isola prima che Enea venisse in Italia. Capri offre tra gli itinerari più affascinanti, quello che conduce alla scoperta delle antiche ville, in origine dodici, volute da Augusto e Tiberio, ognuna delle quali, secondo la tradizione, fu dedicata ad una divinità dell’Olimpo. È proprio agli imperatori romani, infatti, che è legata la fama dei due comuni dell’isola, Capri e di Anacapri.

  • Beaches Right Here
    BEST OF THE ITALIAN 1 ISLANDS all it a cop-out, but the only category I can’t bring myself to cover in this chapter is “Best Island.” Wildly Cdiverse in landscape, size, and atmosphere, each of the Italian islands has its own superlative features, which I’ve culled and compiled into the categories listed below. If your vision of an Italian island vacation is playing on a sandy beach, you’ll find a carefully edited list of the best beaches right here. Perhaps nightlife is a priority, or art and history, or romance, or food and wine, or being one of the first to “discover” an island that’s still untouched by international tourism, or doing nothing at all. I’ve presented my favorites for all these themes and more in this section, so that you can head straight for the all-stars in each category without wasting precious vacation time on the also-rans. Here’s hoping you also find your own personal collection of “best” experiences while you’re at it. THE best BEACHES W Spiaggia dei Conigli (Lampedusa): Simply cresting the hill of the hik- ing path that leads to this beach and beholding Spiaggia dei Conigli—a glorious crescent of sugary white sand—and its wide bay of swimming pool–like water may be the highlight of a trip to far-flung Lampedusa. The water here is shallow and always warm, and you can swim or wade the short distance to Isola dei Conigli islet, in the middle of the bay. W Biodola (Elba): Sugary white sand that extends for 600m (1,969 ft.), a gentle offshore grade, and abundant services make this the best all- purpose sandy beach on Elba.
