Nine hundred twenty-one steps. For a climb of three hundred meters from the sea to the mountain full of suggestions and prodigal of beauty.
It has always been the obligatory stop on the long spring journey.
The "secret" of the renowned Capri perfumes is in a small wild carnation.
The imagination of the contemporary traveler gets lost in the alleys, after crossing Piazza del Plebiscito, touching the Royal Palace, the San Carlo Theater, and Via Toledo, aiming here and there at the surprising green patches of Capodimonte, the vegetable gardens and the Posillipine parks and the coastal cliffs of yellow tuff.
