An Identity Forged by Centuries of History

The history of Falvaterra is rooted in a distant and glorious past, attested to by archaeological finds like the ancient polygonal walls dating back to the pre-Roman period. The very name of the village seems to derive from the ancient Roman city of Fabrateria, whose ruins are a short distance away. After Fabrateria's destruction, the population took refuge on the heights of the Ausoni Mountains, giving rise to the current settlement. Starting from the year 1000, the village entered a phase of great historical dynamism, passing under the rule of powerful families like the De Ceccano, the Pagani, the Caetani, and finally the Colonna, who shaped its identity. Even today, walking through the streets of the historic center, you can feel the echoes of these distant epochs that have made Falvaterra the village it is today.
