It is located at 304 metres above sea-level. During World War II, it was destroyed in a bombardment and was
completely rebuilt preserving the old aspect and the savour of ancient hamlet. Now it is an elegant residential place.
The small village is located on the road for Orte, at the foot of the Monti Cimini, looking towards the Tiber.
Some historical documents testify that the Romans, after the victorious battle of the Vadimone lake in 310 B.C. and then in 283 B.C.,
founded on these hills a castrum to consolidate the acquired dominion on Etruscan people and to control the navigation on the Tiber.
