Villa Leone is a famous property in Anacapri on the Capri island, built at the early ‘900 from the Baroness Gallotta, famous on the island and in Naples for her embroideries. The villa is well known as Villa Lo Spolino (the shuttle). For the love to her daughter the Baroness left the island for living in South Africa. The new owner, the princess Branciforte, bought the villa after in the mid 60th and ther she lived a great love story with a famous entrepreneur from Rome. The passion joined them to the villa "Lo Spolino" and for many years they lived there between great parties and an unlimited love. In the period of "la dolce vita" the villa was the residence of famous Italian movie star. Unfortunately when the love ends up the villas was for sale. But in the mid 70th a brilliant and well-known professor of surgery and orthopaedics bought Villa Leone for his family and it is thanks to the care and the art of his wife that the Villa is now richer with fine decoration and furniture.
