Architecture
reveals Capoliveri's antiquity. Originating as a Greek and Phoenician station for its iron
and copper, it developed as an Etruscan hillfortress.
The village then formed a geometrical and rational shape (typical of the buil-ding Latin
tradition) inside the archaic walls. Later in the Middle Ages, the fortified borgum
gathered around the square and Via Roma.
This is the main and highest street of the village, from which a whole series of lanes,
alleys, little squares full of arcs, smaller arcs, short subways, stairs and lateral
staircases branch off . |
