	Axel Munthe
		It is an account of Munthe's experience as a doctor in Paris and Rome, and in semi-retirement at the villa of San Michele on the island of Capri (Italy).
		With his royalties from his books, Munthe financed sanctuaries for migrating birds in Capri and in Sweden, and contributed to charities for the poor, becoming known as "the modern St. Francis of Assisi." For a time in the 1930s, he was entirely blind, until his sight was restored in an operation in 1934.
		Munthe's villa is situated high up on the rocky ledges northeast of Anacapri, at the foot of Mount Barbarossa.

		That Axel Munthe wrested his vision out of the realm of dream and planted it solidly on the heights of Anacapri is a fact that is there for us all to go and verify.
		Munthe surely knew, as we know now, that it was a small price to pay.
		Munthe bequeathed his dream to the Swedish State, placing it thereby into the hands of the Swedish Institute for Classical Studies in Rome.Under the careful management of the Axel Munthe Foundation formed to supervise the valuable patrimony, the legacy has grown both in size (now covering approximately 16 acres) and in cultural importance.

	Isola di Capri - Personaggi e dimore: Axel Munthe
		Non appena mise piede sull'isola, Munthe si innamorò di alcune rovine di una piccola cappella medioevale dedicata a San Michele, circondata da un gran vigneto che celava i resti di una villa romana tant'è vero che, durante gli intensi lavori di costruzione, furono portati alla luce numerosi reperti archeologici.
		Munthe fu anche un cultore dell'arte, un filantropo e un grande amante degli animali: al fine di proteggere gli stormi di uccelli migratori che periodicamente attraversavano i cieli dell'isola, decise di acquistare il terreno del Monte Barbarossa, al fine di offrire ai volatili una zona protetta.
		Nel giugno del 1943 Munthe, col declinare definitivo della salute, lasciò per sempre Anacapri, per trascorrere il resto della sua vita a Stoccolma, presso Re Gustavo.

		The house was small, the rooms were few, but there were loggias, terraces and pergolas all around, from which one could watch the sun, the sea and the clouds: the soul requires more space than the body.
		The construction involved transforming a simple country home and an old chapel dedicated to San Michele and originally built on exquisitely decorated ruins from the Augustan age that demonstrate the presence on that spot of a sumptuous residence.
		It is owned by the Swedish Munthe Foundation and is open to the public: many of the founder's possessions, including rustic and antique furniture, as well as countless archaeological artefacts, are preserved in a charming atmosphere.
