That Capri Air

"That Capri Air" captures the whimsical and enchanting essence of the legendary Italian island during the early twentieth century. Written by Edwin Cerio, a man intimately connected to the island's history and landscape, this collection of sketches and anecdotes offers an insider's perspective on the eccentricities and charm of Capri.

The narrative breathes life into the island's rugged cliffs, blue waters, and the colorful cast of characters-both local and foreign-who sought refuge and inspiration in its unique atmosphere. Through wit and keen observation, Cerio explores the intersection of history, mythology, and the everyday realities of Mediterranean life. The work serves as a literary celebration of the "spirit of place," documenting a transformative era for the island.

From the ruins of imperial villas to the bustling piazzetta, "That Capri Air" provides a vivid portrayal of a world shaped by both natural beauty and human eccentricity. It remains an essential read for those captivated by Italian culture, travel literature, and the timeless allure of the Tyrrhenian Sea.
