The beautiful villa in Capri, which belonged to Christian de Sica, with a unique view of the island, including the Bay of Naples and the Gulf of Salerno, was recently sold by Lionard Luxury Real Estate Lionard Luxury Real Estate S.p.A. (https://www.lionard.com/).
The villa (https://www.lionard.com/villa-de-sica-for-sale-capri.html) is part of the historic residence “I Quattro Venti (The Four Winds)”, one of those that contributed to the myth of Capri, designed and built by the American symbolist painter and poet Elihu Vedderz, between 1900 and 1903, on the slopes of Mount Solaro. The villa, in Capri style, was built in what was once Vedder’s artistic studio. A destiny that would continue with the subsequent owners: sold to Earl Brewster, the “I Quattro Venti” villa was a long-term residence for the writer D. H. Lawrence, who worked here on the drafting of his famous book: “Lady Chatterley’s Lover”. The entire property changed hands again at the end of the 1930s, and continued to be frequented by many artists, including Joseph Beuys (who has dedicated one of his famous works to Capri) and Cy Twombly.
“Capri is one of the most sought-after destinations for clients seeking extraordinary beauty. This is confirmed by the increase in purchase requests that we have seen in this first period of the year compared to the previous one, equal to + 87%”, says Jennifer Giraldi, Senior Partner at Lionard and National Sales Director. “The dynamism of the real estate market in this part of Italy has not only led us to open our own office in Naples (Via dei Mille 16), an important garrison of a fascinating and unique region, but to strategically develop our portfolio with trophy assets, well represented by the villa, which was designed and built by the American symbolist painter and poet Elihu Vedder” concludes Giraldi.
