Physical geography
Trevignano Romano is a municipality located in the metropolitan city of Rome Capital, in Lazio. It is located on the heights of the Sabatini Mountains, near the northern coast of Lake Bracciano and at the foot of Mount Rocca Romana. The city center is located in the inlet of Lake Bracciano, at the western end.
Climate
The climate in Trevignano Romano is classified as zone D, with an average annual precipitation of 1605 GR / G.
Origin of the name
The name Trevignano seems to have nothing to do with the three vines present in the municipality's coat of arms, created perhaps in the 14th century. In reality, it could derive from the toponym ''Trebonianum'' or from the Augustan era, called "triboniana," or from the Umbrian root indicating "inhabited place." The silver and red banded band in the coat of arms recalls the coat of arms of the Orsini family.
History
The territory of Trevignano Romano was already frequented in the Paleolithic period, while it played an important role during the Etruscan era. The numerous necropolises that extend for about three kilometers behind the current village testify to the presence of the Etruscans in the area. During the Middle Ages, the territory was equipped with a defensive fortress, which was then stormed by the troops of Cesare Borgia.
