Lanuvio, Historic hillside municipality in Metropolitan City of Rome, Italy

Located 30 kilometers southeast of Rome at an elevation of 324 meters, Lanuvio spreads across the slopes of the Alban Hills region of Latium.

The ancient town of Lanuvium gained importance during the Roman Empire as the birthplace of emperors Antoninus Pius and Commodus before declining in the fourth century.

The Collegiata Church of Santa Maria Maggiore, constructed in 1240 and modified in 1675, contains tombs of the Colonna family and numerous paintings.

The Regional Park of Castelli Romani surrounds Lanuvio, connecting visitors to neighboring towns through walking paths and regional transportation networks.

During the annual Festa del Vino in September, the main fountain in Lanuvio dispenses wine instead of water to mark the grape harvest season.
