Caproni had been founded in the first decade of the 20th Century as an aircraft manufacturer, and only turned to motorcycle production after WW2. The firm commenced with a 50cc ultralightweight before swiftly moving on to a 75cc model, the Capriolo 75, which was notable for its use of a pressed style frame and an unusual four stroke engine of the overhead face cam type, which also featured a longitudinal (rather than transverse) crankshaft. Sports versions won their class in the 1954 MilanTaranto and 1955 Giro Motociclistico d Italia. When engineer Giovanni Caproni died in 1957, the company was reorganised and adopted the Aeromere name, a shortened form of Aero Meccanica Regionale. Its motorcycles continued to be badged as Capriolo until production ceased in 1963.
