Life on Capri
Giorgio Amendola, the future leader of the Italian Communist Party, who lived on Capri when he was eleven-years-old, led a small male-female gang in 1918, and wrote in his autobiography:
There were forbidden zones we were not supposed to set foot on. For instance, we were told never to draw near a white villa near [Monte] Tiberio, because [...] nasty things were happening there. Later I grasped that Fersen was meant, and his strange friendships. I was eleven years old, and the Caprian boys were of about my age. They knew very well the meaning of all these allusions.[1]
