Capri Foundation

Vision

The Capri Foundation was created as the result of the founding members’ shared desire to preserve and promote the historic, artistic and cultural heritage of Capri and, at the same time, to encourage and foster sources of artistic excellence on the island. The foundation is directly connected with Capri’s long-established history as an international center of artistic exchange, itself a product of the inseparable relationship between culture and tourism, and which is the island’s most powerful motor of economic and social development.

It enjoys an open dialogue with both private and public, national and international institutions, with which a permanent collaboration is anticipated.
