From May 24 to July 12, 2026, the historic Villa Rosa in Anacapri transforms into an artist\u2019s house, blending independent craftsmanship, world-renowned brands, and exclusive design talks<\/h2>\n\n

High up in the quiet hills of Anacapri\u2014where the island\u2019s rhythm slows down, offering an authentic escape from mass tourism\u2014a brand-new dialogue between historic architecture and avant-garde design is taking shape. EDIT Napoli<\/strong>, the acclaimed platform promoting editorial and signature design worldwide, makes its debut on the iconic Blue Island with the project \u201cEsclusivo|Inclusivo<\/em>\u201d (Exclusive|Inclusive).<\/p>\n\n

Developed in collaboration with the Municipality of Anacapri and the Jumeirah Capri Palace, this summer initiative brings high-end manufacturing beyond the traditional borders of the Neapolitan fair (scheduled for October 2026), placing it within one of the most breathtaking and evocative settings in the Mediterranean.<\/p>\n\n

Villa Rosa: A Historic Residence Reimagined Through Contemporary Design<\/h3>\n\n

The beating heart of the event is Villa Rosa<\/strong>, a stunning 19th-century residence located along the scenic path leading to Axel Munthe\u2019s famous Villa San Michele. Recently restored by the Municipality of Anacapri as a cultural hub, the villa revives its original calling as an open space for arts and culture. <\/p>\n\n

Under the expert curation of Domitilla Dardi and Emilia Petruccelli, the rooms of this historic mansion are coming alive once again. A curated selection of international designers and luxury brands\u2014including Fornace Brioni x Galleria Kalpa, Poltronova, Forma&Cemento, Coralla Maiuri, and Jonathan Bocca<\/em>\u2014has transformed the space into a seamless domestic narrative. Fine porcelain, bespoke textiles, and innovative materials interact with the natural Mediterranean light and landscape, offering visitors a living, experiential environment rather than a static exhibition. <\/p>\n\n

Where Luxury Hospitality Meets Independent Design Research<\/h3>\n\n

In recent years, EDIT Napoli has firmly established itself as a cornerstone of the independent design movement, evolving from a traditional trade fair into an ongoing platform for research and development. This forward-thinking vision perfectly aligns with the fair’s strategy: building synergies with high-profile luxury hotels to demonstrate how cutting-edge innovation can seamlessly integrate into the world of premium hospitality. <\/p>\n\n

A prime example of this synergy is the partnership with the Jumeirah Capri Palace<\/strong>, a destination where fine art and luxury hospitality organically coexist. The hotel will showcase a selection of works from the Hybrida<\/em> collection designed by Patricia Urquiola. Notably, Urquiola’s suites\u2014alongside those designed by Giuliano Andrea Dell\u2019Uva\u2014already define a design language where interior curation is an essential part of the guest experience. <\/p>\n\n
