ANACAPRI

• CATENA 
  (Street)

From “via Tommaso de Tommaso” to “via Migliara”. It takes also to the small 13^th century church of “S.Maria a Costantinopoli”, formerly "alli Curti". During the Turkish raids it was dedicated to the “Madonna della Catena” because she was usually implored in order to obtain a grace for the freeing of the relatives who had been captured.

• CETRELLA (Locality)

Panoramic zone of enchanting beauty at the foot of Mount Solaro. A small 13^th century church dedicated to S.Maria rises on the mountain. At the beginning its name was ascribed to the non-proved existence of a temple dedicated to “Venere Citerea”. It is more likely that it comes from the abundant growth of "citronella"(melissa officinalis and aurea) whose leafs delicately smell like lemon.

• DAMECUTA (Locality-Villa roman)

From Latin "domus-cuta" that is "residence-alcove", it precisely indicates the rooms under the medieval tower. It consists of a "cubicle", a vestibule and a small terrace as a belvedere which were appreciated by Tiberius during his stays in this villa.

• FILIETTO (Street-Locality)

From “via G.Orlandi” to “via T.de Tommaso”. It crossed the property of Giovanni De Filecto as it was written in a notarial deed dated 988 of the Maritime Republic of Amalfi to which Capri was subordinated at that time.

• FINESTRALE 
  (Street)

From “Piazza S.Nicola” to the “Boffe”. Formerly known as the street which takes to the “Boffe”. In 1814 the demolished “Monastero delle Teresiane”, annexed to the “Chiesa di S.Michele Arcangelo”, was used as barracks. For this reason it was renovated and many wide windows were opened on the street side, this gave origin to the toponym.

• FOLLICARA 
  (Street)

From “Piazza Caprile” to “Via Grotta Azzurra”. It shows the place of the coots (follica, in local dialect). These birds still fly over the island during the migration time. The crenellated house on the right was for almost twenty years the residence of the Queen Victoria of Sweden.

• GRADOLA (locality)

This area is directly above the “Grotta Azzurra”. Its name derives from Latin, "gradus-gradula" that is small call. Some incisions on the rocks show the moorings for the boats since the Roman period. The Romans used it to reach the overhanging imperial villa of Damecuta. The “Grotta Azzurra” was formerly known as “Grotta di Gradola”.

• LE BOFFE (Street-area-locality)

Its name refers to all the houses in Capri style which were built in the 17^th century around the church of “S.Sofia” (1556). They are covered with the typical pavillion vaults which look like those small swellings forming under the bread crust which in local dialect are called "boffe".

• LIMMO 
  (locality)

From Latin "limen"=confine. This resort actually marks the west boundary of the island.
