La Piazzetta... "The "heart" of Capri is Piazza Umberto I: a small, closed-off square resembling a courtyard where vip's are used to have aperitifs during their summer holidays. Via Krupp... In 1900 the German magnate Krupp financed the construction of a street to be used for travelling on foot that connected the Quisisana - where he lived - to Marina Piccola. Built with great skill by engineer Emilio Mayer, it has been called "the world's most beautiful road", thanks to the way it hugs the cliffs and the appropriate use of local construction materials. The Gardens of Augustus... The gardens belonged to the villa of Friedrich Alfred Krupp, son of the founder of the German steelworks who residence in Capri at the end of the last century. Built on the ruins of ancient Roman structures, the gardens were donated by Krupp to the Town of Capri, which later named them for the Roman emperor.
