History
The Capocotta estate, whose former name probably was Capocorso, [3] is attested for the first time as an autonomous entity in the 15th century, when it belonged to Camillo Capranica.
It then passed to the Borghese during the 17th century; according to the 1803 Land Register, it covered a surface of about 760 hectares (1,900 acres).
At the beginning of the 20th century, it became the private property of the Royal House, which thus intended to enlarge the adjacent Castelporziano Estate, loaned to the ruling family but owned by the Italian state.
After the end of the monarchy, the estate followed the fate of the private possessions of the House of Savoy and three-quarters of it became a property of the heirs of Victor Emmanuel III.
The planned construction of a residential district in the area was averted in 1985, when, on the initiative of environmental movements and the then President Sandro Pertini, 1,000 hectares (2,500 acres) of it were annexed to the Castelporziano estate – whose use had been granted to the President of the Republic after the war, [4] thus restoring the historical unity of the ancient territory of Laurentum . [5]
What today is referred as the beach of Capocotta is therefore, in a narrow sense, the coastal strip of the old latifundium not included in the presidential estate; this justifies the name of former Capocotta Estate for the locality.
