Capri is an island located in the Tyrrhenian
Sea off the Sorrentine Peninsula, on the south
side of the Gulf of Naples. The main
town Capri that is located on the island shares
the name. It has been a resort since the time of
the Roman Republic
3
Anacapri is located on the slopes of Mount Solaro
and has about 7,000 residents. The Ancient
Greek prefix ana- means "up" or "above",
signifying that Anacapri is located at a higher
elevation on the island than Capri (about 150 m
higher on average)

Museum and Historical Residence Casa Rossa Along
Via Giuseppe Orlandi, Anacapri's main street
lined with whitewashed houses and local shops,
sits the bright red facade of a building,
architecturally unique among its plain-faced
traditional island neighbors for its strange and
fantastic decorations. This is Casa Rossa, built
between 1886 and 1899 by the eccentric American
colonel John Clay MacKowen (1842 - 1901)
alongside an Aragonese tower dating from the end
of the 1400's, and representing a perfect example
of the typical eclectic residence-museum which
was very much in fashion at the end of the 19th
century.

The unique structure of the complex, the blend of
architectural styles, the bright brick red color,
and the marble fragments which adorn both the
inside and outside of the building, make this one
of the most interesting residences on the island,
and reflect the multifaceted personality of the
original owner, veteran of the American Civil
War, physician, bibliophile, lover of
archaeology, and author of the first monograph on
Capri, published in 1884
The entrance to Casa Rossa, under the Greek
inscription "Greetings, citizen of the land of
idleness"

Crown of Thorns, Christ Plant, Christ Thorn
(Euphorbia millii)
22
Euphorbia milii, the crown of thorns, Christ
plant, or Christ thorn, called Corona de Cristo
in Latin America (coroa-de-cristo in Brazil), is
a species of flowering plant in the spurge family
Euphorbiaciae, native to Madagascar
23
The species name commemorates Baron Milius, once
Governor of Réunion, who introduced the species
to France in 1821. It is suspected that the
species was introduced to the Middle East in
ancient times, and legend associates it with the
crown of thorns worn by Christ

Ancapri is a concentration of Mediterranean
colors, scents, and sounds. Town life here has
remained authentic despite the island's tourism
tucked between the houses there are tiny, humble
vegetable gardens surrounded by lush tropical
plants. A walk around the center of Anacapri will
take you past tiny Neapolitan tailor shops,
artisan shoemakers, ladies sitting in the shade
outside working on their knitting while
exchanging gossip and news...all with the scent
of the town's lemon groves that permeates the air
