Capri is an Italian island off the Sorrentine Peninsula, on the south side of the Gulf of Naples. It has been a resort since the time of the Roman Republic. Features of the island are the Marina Piccola (Small Harbor), the limestone masses the Faraglioni Rocks that stand out of the sea, Anacapri, the Blue Grotto and the ruins of the Imperial Roman villas. Capri is in the region of Campania, Province of Naples. The City of Capri is the main centre of population on Capri. It has two adjoining harbours, Marina Piccola and Marina Grande (the main port of the island). The separate commune of Anacapri is located high on the hills to the west. In the latter half of the 19th century, Capri became a popular resort for European artists, writers and other celebrities. John Singer Sargent is one of the prominent artists who stayed on the island around the late 1870s. Sargent is best known for his series of portraits featuring the beautiful local model, Rosina Ferrara. Norman Douglas, Friedrich Alfred Krupp, Axel Munthe, and Maxim Gorky are all reported to have owned a villa there, or to have stayed there for more than three months. Swedish Queen Victoria often stayed there. Gracie Fields also had a villa on the island and sang two songs, "The Isle of Capri" and "Come Back to Sorrento", about Capri. Memoirs set on Capri include Edwin Cerio's Aria di Capri (1928) (translated as That Capri Air), which contains a number of historical and biographical essays on the island, including a tribute to Norman Douglas; The Story of San Michele (1929) by the Swedish royal physician Axel Munthe (1857–1949), who built a villa of that name; and Shirley Hazzard's Graham on Capri: A Memoir (2000), about her reminiscences of Graham Greene. Novels set on Capri include I Love Capri by Belinda Jones
