Caprio is a picturesque village located on the right bank of the stream of the same name. In the Middle Ages, it marked the border of Lunigiana's only municipality—Pontremoli—delimited by the Caprio and Teglia streams. As in other villages of the valley, one can still recognize typical features of medieval architecture, such as tower-houses and vaulted passages.
In Caprio di Sopra, embedded in a private house, there is a reproduction of a stele statue head. The original artifact, recently damaged, is now preserved at the Museum of Stele Statues in the Castle of Piagnaro in Pontremoli.
Thanks to the dedication of the village’s residents, Caprio also hosts a charming permanent exhibition dedicated to cats—an original and delightful reason to explore the village and wander through its narrow alleys.
