You keep getting gold in tribute, so before you attack Caravaggio, make sure you have a big attack force. My first two attacks got wiped out because my force wasn't strong enough. You have to be patient, allow the gold to come in, and build up. I staged my attack in the Venetian camp just to the East of Caravaggio. There is a chokepoint you can use to defend it and set up ambushes for the defenders. 12 knights, 20 hand cannoneers, 20 genoese crossbowmen, and 6 bombard cannons did the trick for me. It helps to draw the defenders out of the city and destroy them before attacking the city proper.
