It’s nearly impossible to improve on the blissful destination of Capri, Italy—especially with its natural scenery, rich cultural legacy, and legions of style. This fall, the island will become all the more enchanting with the annual Anacapri Landscape Festival. Running from September 10 to November 5, the event activates Villa San Michele, an elaborate 19th-century estate constructed 1,000 feet above the sea. Here, a host of site-specific interventions by Humberto and Fernando Campana, Elisa Sighicelli, and more, under the theme “building new identities,” will pay homage to one of last year’s participants, influential Ukrainian-born artist Ilya Kabakov, who passed away in May.
