Capri Online

From August 19th to Octobert 4th 2009, Villa Lysis, one time residence of the eccentric Count Jacques d’Adelsward-Fersen, provides the stunning venue for the photographic exhibition “Dioniso at Villa Lysis“: a celebration of the work of Wilhelm von Gloeden, author of famous tableaux vivants exploring the relationship between man, nature and history.

A month long calender of events has been programmed for “Capri, i luoghi della parola – La parola degli Dei“, a literary review due to commence in Capri on August 2nd and conclude on September 1st. Organized by Libreria La Conchiglia, the review is dedicated to one of the most ambiguous and contradictory of divinities: Dionysus, the son born from one of Zeus’ adulterous love affairs.

On Tuesday August 25th 2009, in the cloisters of Capri’s 14th century Charter house of San Giacomo, the tenor Andrea Bocelli will receive the Premio Faraglioni 2009. In addition to the official presentation of the silver sculpture representing the Faraglioni of Capri, the evening will include a live performance by the artist and an interview, in which Bocelli will respond to questions from members of the audience.

From June 12th to August 14th 2009 the panoramic gardens and terraces of Anacapri’s Villa San Michele will host the “Concerti al Tramonto“, an unmissable weekly appointment with chamber music and jazz.
