Dating back to the late 19th century, this nostalgic view transports us to a bygone era, evoking a sense of wonder and longing for a time when life moved at a slower pace. 3. Setting the Scene: The photograph captures the picturesque marina, nestled between the crystal-clear waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea and the rugged cliffs of Capri Island.
