Gennaro Arcucci
Count Gennaro Arcucci (died 1800) was an Italian physician, antiquarian and a hero of the island of Capri and Caprese martyr in the Bourbon Restoration. He was said to have been the principal signori of the island[1] who used to "entertain the King during his visits to the island and offer him draughts of his far-famed 'Tears of Tiberius'".[2] He was hanged by the Bourbons in 1800, "as a 'liberal'".[1] A plaque commemorates him on the Piazza Umberto I.
