Celebrities Flock to Campania's Summer Hotspots

In the summer of exclusive destinations, secret routes, and travels away from the spotlight, Campania is once again at the center of the international jet set map. Capri, Naples, the Amalfi Coast, and the Sorrentine Peninsula become the backdrop for a season filled with notable arrivals: Springsteen and Spielberg together at Salerno airport, Zuckerberg off the Neapolitan coast with a $300 million yacht, Al Di Meola in concert under the Capri stars, Giulia De Lellis in Positano. The scene is now familiar, but no less impactful. Let's go in order. The lights of Capri turn on at sunset and a familiar face of international music appears on a terrace overlooking the Faraglioni. Al Di Meola, a jazz-rock guitar virtuoso and ambassador of Mediterranean sound worldwide, opened his Campanian summer this way. 'Happy to be back on the island I call my second home, beautiful Capri,' he wrote on social media, inaugurating the 2025 season of the Mediterranean Sundance Events, a series of acoustic concerts immersed in music and landscape. Di Meola is not just any tourist: his paternal roots lie in Cerreto Sannita, in Sannio, where he is an honorary citizen. For years he has chosen Campania as a place of the soul and a creative refuge. Capri, in particular, has become an essential stop for him, both artistically and emotionally. But Al is not the only famous face to have chosen the South. Bruce Springsteen and Steven Spielberg landed together with a private jet at Salerno airport. According to rumors, the Boss was also spotted at Marina d'Arechi, perhaps headed to Vico Equense, a place that has welcomed him in the past. Someone managed to get a selfie with him, while Mario Maysse, the historic owner of the Disclan store, gave him a vinyl copy of the iconic Born to Run. A symbolic gesture, from fan to legend. Meanwhile, in the Gulf of Naples, the Launchpad, the futuristic yacht of Facebook founder and Meta owner Mark Zuckerberg, has been spotted again. Measuring 118 meters, it was seen in front of Via Caracciolo, between the Villa Comunale and Castel dell'Ovo, followed by the support ship Wingman and service tenders. The fleet touched Ischia, Procida, and Capri. It is currently in Casamicciola, where it attracts the attention of curious onlookers and tourists looking for a photo. A year ago, during a stop in Castellammare, Mayor Luigi Vicinanza managed to board to present Zuckerberg and his wife with Neapolitan taralli and a book on the Vespucci, launched in the Stabia shipyards. This year, the couple received traditional Ischian cornetti instead. Giulia De Lellis, on the other hand, chose the Amalfi Coast, arriving in Positano for an exclusive event linked to the Guess brand. An influencer and entrepreneur, De Lellis documented her stay on Instagram amidst breathtaking landscapes, typical sweets, and an outfit that did not go unnoticed: a pajama-effect ensemble worn with irony during an informal dinner. 'Dinner with friends in pajamas, with rare mints as a gift,' she wrote, sparking likes and comments among followers.
