The history of Capriana (Caoriana in valer dialect) starts toward the VI century, when the whole of the Val di Fiemme was subdued by the Longobards (arrived from the east), and by Bajuvari (come from north-west). Hereinafter, Caverlana, i.e. Capriana, as Castello di Fiemme, passed into the possession of the counts of Eppan, that between the X and the XII century, called in these territories the roncadores, people of Germanic origin, which occupied the plowing and the culturing of the ground, so as to make it the cultivable land and profitable. Were also distributed among families of roncadores, pastures and woods, so that every family could ensure his sustenance, but not only, that would pay to the Lords a reasonable rent.

The first settlement was that of Rover-Carbonare, so named for the development in that area of the charcoal burners, for the production of coal, done precisely with the wood of oak. But already before the year 1216 (year of the consecration of the first church) there was the establishment of Cauriana, the area was inhabited by a free community of people with a certain economic prosperity and cultural development and considerable social.
