WEDDINGS OF S T YLE
Capri is one of the world’s chicest destinations: the European pleasure island. It is a
place where well-tanned Italians share the
island’s beauty with celebrities and emphatic
island lovers: from limoncello, the native
digestivo, to its eponymous Capri pants, to
the bright turquoise jewelry and bejeweled
sandals made famous by its glamorous denizens. In a tribute to the isle adored by literary
icons and the jet set alike, author Pamela Fiori
describes, through resonant texts and vibrant
images, the effortless charm of this island.

in tHe sPirit OF CaPri The rendezvous’
conspirators will be sunglasses and a silk scarf and,
top-down, the little red convertible is the chariot of
choice. With warm winds quietly conjuring the heart’s
desire, Capri is a fantasy whispered only to your beau.
Aromas from alluring hills of spearmint, lemon trees
and olive groves flirt openly with secluded caves
bathed in sparkling sapphire pools; nature’s sensual
gifts are of cinematic proportion. Pamela Fiori’s In the
Spirit of Capri is, indeed, a love story.
“If I could create the island of my dreams, I could
not improve on one that already exists. I mean, of
course, Capri,” she muses. Longingly reminiscing
about dining on linguine alle vongole alongside sun-
drenched houses dressed in a palette of salmon and
canary pastels, inspired by gelato’s hues, her volume
is a recollection of both her personal journeys and the
long life of the Mediterranean isle.
