Ronciglione, Medieval commune in Province of Viterbo, Italy.
The town stands at 441 meters elevation on a hilltop surrounded by deep gorges, offering views across the Cimini mountains and Lake Vico.
Founded around 1045 by the Prefetti of Vico, Ronciglione gained significance under Farnese rule and became a center for copper and iron manufacturing.
The Cathedral, designed by Carlo Rainaldi in 1660, represents the town's architectural heritage with its combination of Renaissance and Baroque elements.
Located 20 kilometers from Viterbo, Ronciglione connects to Rome through the SS2 Cassia road and maintains agricultural production of chestnuts and hazelnuts.
The town preserves a tradition of riderless horse races during Carnival, a practice established in 1465 that continues with nine districts competing for victory.
