Anacapri: Seggiovia Montesolaro
Anacapri spreads across the western uplands of Capri in Campania, and that elevated setting has given the town a character distinct from the island’s port-facing settlements. Below Monte Solaro, Capri’s highest summit, lanes thread between whitewashed houses, gardens and terraced plots above the Tyrrhenian Sea. Anacapri developed apart from Capri town, historically reached by a steep road, and retains a largely residential pattern away from the waterfront. Its best-known cultural landmark is Villa San Michele, the former home of Swedish physician and writer Axel Munthe, whose gardens and collections reflect his life on the island. A chairlift connects the town centre with Monte Solaro.

Tucked along the western side of Capri Island, Anacapri is a place whose character is shaped by steep limestone slopes rising toward Monte Solaro. Set above the island’s busy Marina Grande, it retains a more residential rhythm, with narrow lanes, whitewashed houses and gardens among terraces. The 18th-century Church of San Michele is known for its majolica floor depicting the expulsion of Adam and Eve. Nearby, Villa San Michele was created by the Swedish physician and writer Axel Munthe; its collections and gardens look across the island and the Bay of Naples. The coast below includes the entrance to the Blue Grotto, reached from the sea. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Capri Island and Campania.

The terrain of Campania ranges from volcanic lowlands along the Bay of Naples in the west to Apennine uplands in the east, creating a pronounced transition from coast to interior. Naples is the region’s principal city, set beneath Mount Vesuvius, whose 79 CE eruption buried the Roman towns of Pompeii and Herculaneum. South of the bay, the Sorrentine Peninsula and the Amalfi Coast meet the Tyrrhenian Sea, while inland areas such as Irpinia are defined by hills, farmland and smaller historic towns. Campania’s identity is equally expressed through Neapolitan cuisine, especially pizza, and its long connection with the Mediterranean.

Among the countries of southern Europe, Italy stands out for its Mediterranean coastline and cities marked by the legacy of ancient Rome. The Alps form its northern frontier, while the Apennines run down the peninsula and the Po crosses the broad plain of the north. Rome’s Colosseum and Roman Forum recall the ancient empire; Florence is closely associated with the Renaissance, and Venice is built across a lagoon on the Adriatic. Food changes markedly between regions, from olive-oil cooking in the south to rice dishes in the Po Valley. Sicily and Sardinia add distinct island identities to a country whose regions retain strong local character.
