Edizioni La Conchiglia
Every island, like every book, is a space and an oracular instrument, of initiation and passage to different realities. Every book, like every island, is a space and a tool for total imprisonment from which to access total freedom.”
Edizioni La Conchiglia was born in Capri in 1989 and grew together with the four bookshops of the same name created by Ausilia Veneruso and Riccardo Esposito in recent years on the island and in Rome and with the La Conchiglia Cultural Association.

The Island in the fifties
Characters, scandals and lifestyles
The fifties were the golden age for Capri. It can well be said that that period of vitality, joie de vivre and love for excess, which in Italy will take the name of “dolce vita” and which will connote an unforgettable era in the history of our country, was born on the small island much earlier , even in the years close to the end of the WWII. Capri in the 1950’s was a world made up of elites and excellences in every field and from every country, in which the figures of King Farouk of Egypt, habitué of the island even after his abdication, of the writer Graham Greene who sat always at the same table of his favorite restaurant, and of the industrialist Gazzoni, who goes around in a sedan chair while Edda Mussolini Ciano has an aperitif every evening in the Piazzetta and the mafioso Lucky Luciano protected by his henchmen. Palma Bucarelli, the legendary director of the National Gallery of Modern Art, holds court surrounded by her admirers, while the actress Rita Hayworth, “The Love Goddess”, walks through the streets of Capri followed by an adoring crowd and Aristotle Onassis earns big you pass through the center of the town with his wife Tina and Maria Callas who he has fallen head over heels for. And how can we forget Malaparte who had to leave the island escorted by the Carabinieri to escape the wrath of the Capri people, the Chilean poet Pablo Neruda who was monitored by the Police for his subversive ideas, and the pious Ministro degli Interni Mario Scelba, a severe scourge of customs and Sworn enemy of swim briefs?
