Villa Lysis

Villa Lysis, once called the Gloriette. This place of the soul is linked to the figure of the noble Parisian poet and aesthete Jacques Fersen who, after a scandal in Paris, chose Capri as an existential exile. He decided to call it Villa Lysis in reference to the dialogue of Plato, Liside, which deals with friendship and homosexual love. As soon as you enter, you are amazed by the mixture of elegance, eccentricity and mystery. A contamination of styles, from neoclassicism to oriental style, that rapts the mind of the visitor dragging him into oblivion of timeless beauty.

Precisely for this was the seat and reference point of numerous artists and intellectuals.

The wonder continues outside thanks to the idyllic view over the bay of Marina Grande and the impressive staircase with Ionic columns that towers at the entrance.
For two years you can visit the Park La Gloriette
where you can admire all the tree qualities and flowers dear to the Count. The Villa during the summer often hosts theatrical performances, exhibitions, concerts and dance performances.
