(52,95 square km with 1832 inhabitants: Farnesani)
It is located on a hilly area, at 341 metres above sea-level, at about 45 km from Viterbo. The first historical documents concerning the village,
date back to 1038, but probably it has older origins . Until the 8th century the whole territory was dominated by the Ildebrandini family and
later it was ruled by the Farnese until 1658, when they were replaced by the Chigi family. At the beginning of 1800 Farnese was annexed to
the properties of the Church and finally it was ceded to the princes of Torlonia.
