Zagarolo, Renaissance commune in Metropolitan City of Rome, Italy
The town extends along a narrow tuff hill at 303 meters elevation, featuring streets lined with Renaissance palaces and central squares.
The settlement originated from residents who fled the ancient city of Gabi during barbaric invasions, later becoming a fortified defense point for Praeneste.
Palazzo Rospigliosi, a transformed medieval castle, contains a municipal library and houses the Museum of Toys with over 800 European artifacts.
The train station provides direct connections to Rome with a journey time of 30 minutes, making it accessible for both residents and visitors.
The annual Grape Festival in October fills the streets with parades, music performances, local food stands, and wine tasting events.
