Frascati, Historic hillside commune in Metropolitan Rome, Italy
Located 20 kilometers southeast of Rome at 320 meters elevation, Frascati extends across the slopes of the Alban Hills near ancient Tusculum.
The area transformed from Roman patrician villas into a medieval stronghold, receiving the title of Civitas from Pope Paul III in 1538.
The Cathedral Basilica of St. Peter Apostle and numerous Renaissance villas, including Villa Aldobrandini and Villa Falconieri, define the architectural heritage.
Regular train connections link Frascati to Rome's Termini station, with departures every hour and a journey time of 30 minutes.
The National Laboratory of Frascati houses particle accelerators and conducts advanced physics research, including the DAFNE electron-positron collider.
