Il Canille captures an afternoon at Umberto Tirelli's clifftop villa in Pizzolungo, where a woman in vibrant orange reclines on a blue lounger while companions lounge on white daybeds and another stands across cascading levels above Capri's sapphire waters. The legendary costume designer's retreat, photographed by Slim Aarons in August 1980, showcases the dramatic Faraglioni rocks rising from the sea beyond sun-drenched platforms adorned with terracotta pots overflowing with pink and purple blooms, bringing this elite Italian paradise directly into your accomplished home.
Midday shadows trace geometric patterns across the immaculate white surfaces while dense green vegetation frames the endless blue horizon, capturing the essence of Capri's most prestigious neighborhood. Your living space gains instant elegance through this remarkable composition where three distinct levels descend toward the sea, each furnished with blue and white loungers beneath the bright Italian sun.

The two massive limestone Faraglioni formations dominate the seascape while flowering planters and a thatched umbrella complete this scene of cultivated luxury. Slim Aarons revealed not just a villa but a sanctuary where creative genius met natural splendor, now enhancing your walls with timeless sophistication.
