Residential Buildings

Villa Lysis, originally called La Gloriette and today also known as Villa Fersen, is a villa on the island of Capri, Italy, built in 1905 by the French industrialist and poet Jacques d'Adelswärd-Fersen. Fersen inscribed the house dedicated to the youth of love and built it as his self-chosen exile from France after a scandal involving Parisian schoolboys and nude or nearly nude tableaux vivants.
