Tarano
Welcome to Tarano: Introduction to the town
Hello everyone! Today I want to talk to you about Tarano, a town in Lazio located in the province of Rieti. About 1387 inhabitants live here and the historic center rises 234 meters above sea level. The territory of Tarano is between Lazio and Umbria, on a fluvial terrace of Pleistocene geological origin. This small town is located between the Campana stream and one of its tributaries, and is surrounded by beautiful natural landscapes.

History
Tarano has an ancient and interesting history. In the fourteenth century, the population joined the revolts promoted by Cola di Rienzo to claim the rights of the Communal Age against the abuses of the barons. The town also suffered damage during the Marsica earthquake of 1915, and the displaced people were hosted in wooden barracks in the areas that later became the hamlets of San Giorgio and Borgonuovo.
However, the most tragic moment in Tarano's history was during World War II, when a farmer residing in Fianello was killed by the Nazis along with his animals at the ford of the Campana stream. Truly a black page in history.
