Nerola, A Medieval Village In Central Italy Stock Image

Nerola is a town and comune of the Metropolitan City of Rome, Latium, Italy. The name Nerola is probably derived from the Sabine word nero or nerio, which meant `strong` and `brave`. The inscription on the fountain in the piazza of the town hall A Nerone tuum Nerola nomen habet traces the origin of the name back to the Roman emperor Nero, who belonged to the gens Claudia, which had distant Sabine origins. In the site traces of a Roman era villa have been found, which legend attributes as belonging to Nero himself
