CAPRI, Italy — Luigi Esposito, whose ancestors have lived on Capri since 1810, objects when he hears people describe the island as “the most beautiful place in the world.”“There are many beautiful places in the world,” he said. “So to say this is the best place of all, well, according to who?”Mr. Esposito, who runs a trekking business in Capri, is among many who say the island’s famous beauty is under serious threat by those two endemic Italian scourges: tourists and trash. The tiny island, just over four square miles, is host to 2.3 million tourists a year, and not all of them take out what they bring in.
