In Assouline's impressive coffee table book "Capri Dolce Vita," Cesare Cunaccia, a former editor-in-chief for Vogue Italia and L'Uomo Vogue, invites readers to explore his personal version of the fashionable Italian coastal town of Capri.
Capri, a resort island dating back to the heyday of the Roman Empire, has long been an extraordinary destination full of ancient charm. Beloved by everyone from physician Axel Munthe, who recommended Capri's clean air to his patients as a cure for bronchitis; to film director Jean-Luc Godard, who chose the island as the location for his 1963 film Le Mépris; to literary icons, celebrities, poets and the jet set. Capri boasts a rich Mediterranean spirit and style that encompasses a wealth of beauty, from gardens to villas, caves and the people walking around the lively Piazzetta, where cars are banned and the island's playful attitude runs rampant. Capri Dolce Vita offers a look at this legendary corner of the world through the ages and is a celebration of paradise on earth.
