  Caprarola, Carbognano and Fabrica
Caprarola is located in a dominant position overlooking the Tiber valley and the other fiefs of the Farnese family.
This was one of the reasons why the site was chosen by Cardinal Alessandro Farnese (nephew of Pope Paulus III) for erecting a large palace, a sign of the family rule over the region.
The town of Caprarola is just a group of houses at the sides of the street leading to the palace.

  Caprarola - Wikipedia
Caprarola si trova nel versante sud dei Monti Cimini ad est rispetto il Lago di Vico, arroccata su uno sperone tufaceo è posta tra le vie consolari, ora strade statali, Cassia e Flaminia.
Pur essendo immersa nell'antico territorio etrusco, Caprarola getta le sue radici in epoca molto più recente, in particolare, si hanno le prime notizie dell'esistenza di insediamenti stabili intorno al XI secolo, questo, come avvenne anche per Ronciglione, a causa dei Monti Cimini anticamenti chiamati selva Cimina e considerati territorio impervio e impenetrabile.
A Caprarola fu costruita la residenza più rappresentativa del livello di ricchezza e di potenza che questa nobile famiglia raggiunse, il Palazzo Farnese di Caprarola.

 In Italy Online - The Papal Villas of Latium
Virtually all of the major villas in Latium were built either by the popes or some intimate family member (nephew, brother, sister, even offspring), or by high-ranking ecclesiastics.
Although both exalt the glory of their owners, each does so in a different way, representing contrasting concepts of the villa, despite their having been built within 10 years of each other by the same architect.
The Farnese Palace in Caprarola is definitely a residence of the powerful transplanted into a rural setting, whereas Villa Lante is the archetype of the Italian garden (geometric, regular forms where nothing is planted by chance), an expression of the “back to nature” philosophy that became very fashionable among the upper classes in the Renaissance.

 The Farnese Circular Courtyard at Caprarola: God, Geopolitics, Genealogy, and Gender - Questia Online Library
Caprarola was originally approachable only from a branch off the main Ronciglione-to-Viterbo road running along the eastern crest of the crater.
This sixteen-mile road linked up with Caprarola's long, steep, straight main street--one of the most important urbanistic projects of the Renaissance--that Vignola rammed through the core of the medieval village to provide an axial approach focused on the center of the villa's facade.
Next, the development and significance of previous examples of circular, mostly peripteral, courtyards are traced as a control for the expressive content of the courtyard at Caprarola deduced from its style and form.

There are frescoes from 1560, most of them by the brothers Zuccari chronicling the Farnese family's greatness, much lauded as the building's highlight (though some are embarrassingly crude and others terribly knocked about), and a monumental spiral staircase up to a circular courtyard.
