Caprie Country

 

Caprie is a small, quiet village in the Susa Valley, on the left bank of the Dora Riparia River. Caprie is divided into Caprie Centre, Novaretto, Celle, Campambiardo e Peroldrado. This territory was home to many different people of Europe, the Ligurians, the Celts, and the Romans. This village was called Caurum, then Chiavrie and now Caprie. This name derives from local dialect "cevra=capra" (Goat in English).

Caprie was old Ocelum, mentioned in the  De Bello Gallico written by Julius Caesar.
