infatti trovare i pezzi artistici e i decori<br />
d’arredo quali vasi, pannelli, piastrelle e<br />
porcellane della scuola di Capodimonte<br />
nelle dimore più prestigiose dell’isola, ma<br />
anche in case di personaggi famosi sparse<br />
in ogni angolo del mondo. Le coloratissime<br />
e raffinate ceramiche di Eureka aprono la<br />
passeggiata lungo la strada dello shopping<br />
di Anacapri, via Orlandi, impreziosendo<br />
con la loro vista quel tratto di strada che<br />
introduce nel cuore di Anacapri antica,<br />
custode della storia, e della tradizione<br />
che la famiglia Pollicino trasferisce da<br />
oltre cinquant’anni nelle sue preziose<br />
ceramiche artistiche.<br />

count the times I’ve been spoilt for choice when selecting a souvenir of Capri,<br />
especially a gift. Well, once you’ve had a look at what this wonderful shop has to offer,<br />
“Ican’t<br />
you will shout Eureka! I’ve found it!...” Curzio Malaparte used these words, from an<br />
unpublished piece for the magazine Capri Segreta in 1954, to recommend a shop in Anacapri<br />
actually called Eureka. Three generations later, from Clara Arcucci to her granddaughter Rita,<br />
today it is Rita’s husband, Nunzio Pollicino who keeps the shop’s original style alive, along with<br />
his children.<br />
The ceramics workshop features an astonishing selection of articles it produces itself, pieces<br />
inspired by Capri’s famous spots, climate, and folklore, which display impeccable taste and<br />
sophistication in their interpretations of the island’s warmth and radiant beauty.<br />
In fact,<br />
Eureka’s artistic pieces and decorative elements,<br />
such<br />
as vases, panels, tiles, and Capodimonte<br />
porcelain, grace not only the island’s most<br />
exclusive homes but also those of the rich<br />
and famous the world over. The brightly<br />
coloured, highly refined ceramics on<br />
show in Eureka’s windows mark<br />
the starting point of any serious<br />
shopper’s stroll down Via Orlandi,<br />
the place to shop in Anacapri, and<br />
they ‘decorate’ the way into the heart<br />
of the island’s ‘second town’ with all<br />
its history – not the least of which is<br />
the tradition that the Pollicino family has<br />
handed down for over fifty years, with its<br />
precious artistic ceramics. <br />
