Top 10 things to see on CAPRI
Capri became the centre of power in the Roman Empire when Tiberius scattered 12 villas around the island and decided to spend the rest of his life here, refusing to return to Rome even when, 10 years on, he was near death. Although Tiberius, one of the most debauched of all Roman Emperors, has been a magnet for the rich and powerful ever since. Ancient Greek and Roman goddesses were moved aside by the likes of Jacqueline Onassis, Elizabeth Taylor, and Brigitte Bardot, who made the island into a paparazzo's paradise in the 1960s. Today, new generations of glitterati continue to answer the island's call, among them Tom Cruise, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Denzel Washington, Eddie Murphy, Julia Roberts, Nicole Kidman and Bill Gates.
