Is Villa Capri II the most important building in New Jersey? No. Is it the most memorable? Absolutely.
It’s a statement. It says, “We’re not boring.” It says, “We like a little drama.” And honestly, who doesn’t?
Next time you’re on Route 15 in Sparta, take the exit. Cruise past Villa Capri II. Roll down your window. Listen for the fountain. Say hello to the chubby lions.
You’ll smile. You can’t help it. It’s just fun. And in a world that takes itself too seriously, a big, bold, 70s-era Italian villa in North Jersey is exactly what we need. Grazie, Villa Capri II. Grazie.
