Inside A $3.9 Million Luxury Villa On Italy’s Island Of Capri

Capri in the 1950s was a hot spot for glitterati in search of la dolce vita. The small island off Italy’s Amalfi Coast drew jet-setters, royals and Hollywood stars with its turquoise waters, steep sea cliffs and exclusivity.

Considered one of the world’s first resorts―Emperor Augustus made the isle his private retreat in 29 B.C.―the luxurious playground for the wealthy was frequented by such midcentury icons as Grace Kelly, Rita Hayworth and Clark Gable.
