Captured by Giorgio Sommer between 1870 and 1880, this image showcases the remnants of the opulent villas once owned by Emperor Tiberius. As we gaze upon this photograph, our eyes are immediately drawn to the majestic ruins that stand proudly amidst a rugged rocky landscape. The archeological sites and excavations reveal glimpses into an era long gone, where grand monuments and complexes adorned this idyllic island.
