Welcome to Capri! The latest title in the Inside series opens the doors to the Italian island’s extraordinary private homes and gardens, all shaped by the Mediterranean’s timeless beauty
In Inside Capri, Cristiano Leone invites readers into a hidden world of extraordinary private homes on one of the Mediterranean’s most alluring destinations. From cliffside villas suspended above the stunning rock formations known as the Faraglioni to secluded gardens scented with citrus and jasmine, this volume reveals the artistry and individuality behind Capri’s most captivating residences. Celebrating the island’s distinctive architectural language known as the Caprese style—whitewashed façades, sunlit terraces, and buildings that follow the natural contours of the cliffs and coastline, each exquisitely photographed home tells a story of heritage, glamour, and effortless Italian charm. The book features the homes of entrepreneurs, artists, designers, collectors, and architects who continue to shape Capri's identity. Among the most sensational residences is La Solitaria, the extraordinary home of author Cristiano Leone and Belgian entrepreneur and philanthropist Benoît Duplat. Guido Taroni’s evocative photography captures the luminous Mediterranean light and the timeless refinement that make Capri perennially compelling.
