You step out of a private vehicle and the palace rises: five bastioned faces of pale stone, a deliberate geometry cutting the skyline above Caprarola. The road from Rome threads through low volcanic ridges and vineyards; here the air smells of cypress and warmed stone. Fountains in the terraces hurry your footsteps toward clipped walks and statues that seem to watch visitors pass.
