1968 Vogue magazine cover. “Viva la vivacita” is all it said, and it was all in Italian. In the fashion editorial published in the January issue, the beauty of Capri was summed up in it. Capri was the perfect natural setting to serve as a frame of photos. The elegance and style of the island were as famous then as they’re now.
I can’t tell the story of Capri. No one can. One has to visit the Island, fall in love with it, and then visit every year and fall even deeper in love with its culture, fashion, food, and people. Capri is also about its Sea. Capricious, changeable, boundless. The infinite gradations are of a blue boundary 17 KM long. It’s not the Piazzetta, nor the staircases, nor the sequins in Via CAmerelle, nor even the white rock. It’s a capricious motif that breaks on the rocks and won’t allow boats to land.
The sea is blue because red would be like a gaping wound, and green would be like a meadow that you couldn’t take seriously. If it were yellow, it would quarrel with the Sun, and if grey with the mountains. The sea is blue because blue is the color of the whales and the balconies overlooking the oceans; It’s the color that best combines with the clouds in winter and the beach umbrellas in the summer.
Capri gives us a thousand blue corners that appear at every blink of the eye, between the trees, the roofs, and the flowery porticos, and that sometimes turn to noisy darkness when the sunsets.
The sea is the crystalline crown that surrounds the island, and it’s the sea that decides whether to allow you to Capri or not. Because Capri doesn’t exist when the sea is stormy and when no craft of any kind can be glimpsed plowing through those storm-tossed waters, this 17KM of the rocky coast is lapped by an azure boundary, blue, indigo, inviting and elusive at the same time, clear and sparkling at dawn, dark and forceful at nightfall.
A waterproof skin and iodine in the nostrils are all we need as we try and keep our balance on the silvery pebbles of the beach at Marina Piccola. Our feet are by now in the water, so they cannot admire the Faraglioni at eye level as we can, serene and unmoving, joyfully framed by the diving kids with their cries of “let’s who can make the biggest splash.”
