Our guest speaker, Kristina Kappelin, will provide a virtual guided tour of Villa San Michele, a Swedish pearl in the Mediterranean.
Villa San Michele, with its award-winning garden, was built on the beautiful Italian island of Capri at the beginning of the 20th century by the Swedish physician and author Axel Munthe (1857-1949). He was the personal doctor of Queen Victoria and wrote one of the most-read international bestsellers of his time, The Story of San Michele.
After his death, the breath-taking Villa was donated to the Swedish state and has become a museum and an event venue with a dynamic culture scene. Kristina spent many years as Sveriges Television’s correspondent in Italy and will lead the virtual tour allowing us to see and learn more about the enchanting Villa.
