| HISTORY: | Top |
Around the first half of the 19th century, a Scottish doctor, George Sidney Clark landed in
Capri and being convinced that the mild Mediterranean climate was ideal for good health, built
a clinic in the sunniest spot, naming it Quisisana, which means "Where you will
restore yourself to health".
Over the years that followed, many tourists visited the Island and Dr. Clark gave up
medicine, dressed as a concierge and opened a pension and then a small hotel, where it was
possible to lodge for only eight lire.
After Dr. Clark's death, his wife and children ran the place, but later sold
Quisisana to their ambitious butler Federico Serena, who later became Mayor of the
Island of Capri. The Hotel was enlarged and in the process bones of elephants of the quaternary
age were found. These may now be seen in the Cerio Museum. They are proof of primitive life and
connection of Capri with the mainland.
From this period on, more and more people visited Capri. Among the aristocratic group was the
German magnate Friedrich Krupp. In order for Krupp to reach Quisisana easier from his
boat anchored at Marina Piccola, he commissioned his engineer to build, what became the famous,
spectacular Via Krupp. Serena died in 1913, his wife and sons then ran the Hotel, but they sold
it in 1918, to S.I.A. a society with no Capri born members.
In the fifties, a Mexican financier, Felix Mechoulam, acquired the Quisisana. Many
improvements in the public areas and guest accommodation were made under his ownership. The
Hotel, thus enlarged, gained a high reputation. After twenty years of Mechoulam’s ownership,
Max Grundig, the German electronics tycoon, fell in love with Capri. He took over the
Quisisana.
Love is never eternal and at the beginning of 1982, a local family of Capri hoteliers named
Morgano took possession of the Quisisana.
We Morganos love our work and we have engaged all our power and hotel experience, so that now
the Quisisana is a prestigious Five Star Deluxe Hotel. It is a goal my grandfather
Giuseppe had in mind to surpass and exceed his eternal and political rival, Federico Serena. At
first, my grandfather built a hotel on a higher location, to have his competitor under his
feet, not satisfied with that he would spit, not politely, in the direction of Serena.
I guess that if Serena were aware that the Quisisana is now property of his enemy's grandson, he would turn in his grave.
