[edit] Relation to Positano

I was recently travelling in Positano, and while I was there I took a day trip to Capri. Both on the trip over and while in Capri it was my impression that there were a lot of poeple getting to Capri from Positano. It seemed like that was a really common thing for people visiting Positano to take a day trip to Capri. So, I thought it would be worth mentioning in the Capri article that it's a common thing for people to get there from Positano. What do others think about adding this comment to this article? solaro 17:25, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

If you're going to include boat service from Positano, you should also include boat service from Amalfi, Ischia, and Salerno. I don't see the point of including all of them. Wikipedia is not a tour guide -- though pointing to tour guides wouldn't be out of place. --Macrakis 21:09, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Name of Capri natives

What does one call people from Capri? Capriani?


[edit] Availability / Peyrefitte

I have requested a citation for the statement that fishermen´s sons were ´´usually available´´ - I also question the relevance of including Peyrefitte´s fiction as a source for speculation about local people´s opinions. Saying that this fiction was ´´carefully researched´´ is merely POV and does not substantiate it as truth. Unless there is strong justification for the relevance of these passages, I will edit them accordingly. They seem out of place in the context of the article. --Smerus 17:36, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Separating entry on island and municipality?

The municipality of Capri does not comprehend the whole of the island of Capri, I suggest it to be spun off. --Cruccone 16:48, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bad pronunciation from song?

OUAT I read something to the effect that the common (mis)pronunciation of "Capri" with the stress on the second syllable comes from a popular song, which stresses it this way to fit the rhythm. Can anybody tell me which song this is? -- Smjg 00:55, 7 March 2007 (UTC)


[edit] homosexual life-styles?

The wording sounds a bit off. Can someone change it?
