Quotes
From an interview by Angelo Carotenuto, Peppino di Capri: “L’isola è umida, ma beati noi che ci viviamo”, Rep.repubblica.it, 5 July 2018
Between us islanders and the rest of the world there is always an element of ungovernability, which consists in the irreducibility of the sea. No one on an island is ever really master of their time. But, on the scale, the positive aspects prevail. Negativity is disposed of. Capri distracts.
They can also teach multiplication tables in Capri. I myself studied on the island, up to gymnasium. In the evenings I would tour the island's nightclubs to sing, in the afternoon I would take lessons from a German teacher and in the morning I would go to school like a ghost. I had become transparent, I weighed 55 kilos.
How can a place where fifteen thousand people live welcome another fifteen thousand a day? It's a stifling hug. Everyone wants to see Capri, we are proud of it, but arrivals should be regulated.
