Via Friedrich Alfred Krupp, commonly known as Via Krupp , is one of the most famous streets of the ' island of Capri , which connects the historic center of the island with the resort area of Marina Piccola. Via Krupp is one of the world's most beautiful footpaths - the Via Krupp in the island of Capri - is to reopen after 30 years. The path, sharp turns into a vertical cliff in 1902 by Friedrich Krupp, the German munitions baron, has been closed since a landslide in 1976. But a £5.5 million reconstruction project has restored the route to its former glory and secured the area against falling rocks. Marino Lembo, the deputy mayor, said: "It is an outrage that the path has been closed for this long." Authors, including Jean-Paul Sartre, Thomas Mann and Pablo Neruda, were enchanted by the route.
