Ancient roots

This small characteristic town has Etruscan origins and more than 2500 years of history! In origin, the area where the city magnificently rises today was occupied by the acropolis, with temples and forums.

The Etruscans and the Romans later, were aware of the territory’s instability and thus they implemented important maintenance works to steam the two rivers and rain waters.
