The gardens were part of the villa of Friedrich Alfred Krupp, son of the founder of the German steelworks who had a residence in Capri at the end of the last century. Built over the ruins of ancient Roman structures, the gardens were later donated by Krupp to the Town of Capri, & the town later named them for Roman emperor Augustus. There's a statue of Lenin in a corner of the garden to commemorate his stay in Capri.
