Villa Lysis is a special and mysterious place, inextricably linked to the figure of Jacques d'Adelswärd Fersen, the Parisian nobleman who took refuge in voluntary exile on the island of Capri to get away from the scandals that had overwhelmed him at home. Built in 1904 by the Count of Fersen himself, Villa Lysis reflects his eclectic personality: elegant, eccentric, luxurious, reserved and at the same time opulent. Here the count finally managed to enjoy his love affair with the young Roman Nino Cesarini in total intimacy until the end of his days.
