Surrounded by an Italian Garden, construction was started on the Villa in 1640 and was the residence of the Mosca family, originally from Bergamo. The villa is designed in a style typical of the Marche; the architect is unknown. The villa is built on several terraced levels which go from the 18th century Oratory located at the highest level, to the side wings, datable to the same century, joined to the original 18th century villa by a passage on the first floor.
There is an interesting theatre in the park, known as the theatre of the cypresses, dating to the XVIII century, today in a rebuilt version. Villa Caprile has been famous for some time for the play of water, the result of an impressive filtering tunnel which is sunk almost two kilometres into the hillside from which it draws water. This delightful place has hosted illustrious guests like Giacomo Casanova in 1792, Stendhal, the Duke Ferdinand IV of Parma and Caroline of Brunswick in 1817-1818, before she moved to the nearby Villa Vittoria. In 1876 Villa Caprile was purchased by the Agricultural Academy which, due to financial difficulties, was forced to sell it in 1924 to the Province of Pesaro and Urbino. Today it is the seat of the A. Cecchi Agricultural Institute.
