CAPRI ISLAND Italian english Home History The factory The Diva suites The restaurant Weddings Photo gallery Contacts Gracie Fields The Song of the Sea was made, in an ancient fort set in the rock, by the famous English singer Gracie Fields who decided to spend the second half of her life in Capri, in this magical place where she was cured of a very serious illness. The Song of the Sea was therefore intended as a favorite stage where to take refuge and welcome friends between relaxation, luxury and fun. Of course, his singing interpretations could not miss the famous 1934 piece "The Isle of Capri" written by Jimmy Kennedy and set to music by Will Grosz, which describes the poignant love story born in the last evenings of summer under the sky and the light of the moon of Capri. History The name La Canzone del Mare is inspired by the song of the Sirens and the episode of the Odyssey in which Ulysses, sailing off some rocks of an island, which many recognize as Capri, had his sailors tied to the mast to listen to the wonderful song of the terrible Sirens, with which they charmed the unfortunate navigators and then killed them. The Song of the Sea represents an important piece of the history of Capri, having been the setting of one of the most beautiful periods of the island: the 50s and 60s. Famous people, regular visitors to the island, spent their summer days sunbathing around the pool lying on deck chairs and sun loungers. Here loves were born that often ended at the end of the summer, new partnerships were created between industrialists and the latest fashion news, such as Capri-cut trousers or the "scandalous" bikini, were worn for the first time. Even today the habituès, in search of glamor and at the same time of tranquility and relaxation, choose La Canzone del Mare .
