Enchanting territory

Trivigliano: the pearl of the Ernici mountains.

An ancient history

The name Trivigliano is thought to derive from the Latin ''tres vigilantes'', referring to the three towers of the town's defensive walls. The municipal territory boasts numerous evidences of its ancient history, such as the tower, the only remaining one from the formerly existing observation and defense towers. Trivigliano is also a place of faith, with its suggestive churches of Sant'Oliva and Santa Maria Assunta.

Cultural events and local traditions

The Trivigliano community is very active in preserving its traditions and offers numerous cultural events throughout the year. Don't miss the "Prosciutto Festival and Artistic Painting Award," held from 10 to 20 August, and "Trivigliano in Bloom at the Summer Solstice," a suggestive celebration that welcomes the arrival of the beautiful season. But Trivigliano traditions are mainly related to religion, with the festivals of Sant'Oliva, Sant'Anna and San Rocco, which attract faithful people from all over the region.

Economy and tourism

Trivigliano is mainly an agricultural community that produces fine products such as prosciutto and numerous local wines, such as Cesanese di Affile DOC and Cesanese di Olevano Romano DOC. Tourism, on the other hand, is in development, but the town has already been able to enhance its natural beauty with hiking routes and guided tours of the Corniano cave and Lake Canterno.

A destination for everyone

Trivigliano is also attentive to social inclusion, as demonstrated by the presence of a stable foreign community of 5.92%, mainly made up of Romanian and Moroccan citizens. In addition, the nursery school, primary school, and lower secondary school offer excellent education for the town's children and their foreign peers.

Ultimately, Trivigliano is an ideal destination for those seeking an authentic experience, far from the usual tourist circuits. The beauty of the territory, the richness of its ancient history, and the vitality of the local community will certainly make you fall in love with this little gem among the Ernici mountains.
