In the Lazio region of central Italy, Genzano di Roma is a town and comune that is part of the Metropolitan City of Rome. It is one of the Castelli Romani, located in the Alban Hills 29 kilometers from Rome. There is ongoing debate over the etymology of the name name Genzano. In one account, the settlement sits atop a hill overlooking Lake Nemi that was previously dedicated to the goddess Cynthia, whose cult was linked to Diana Nemorensis. Other account attributes its genesis to the Gentiani lineage. Rich Roman residents who wanted to take advantage of the pure air, pure water, and milder summer temperatures of the area, settled there as early as the Roman Republican era. The vicinity is home to numerous historic Roman villa remnants. The walls of the Villa of the Antonini, the birthplace of Roman Emperor Antoninus Pius,138–161 AD, are the most remarkable. This is where the Herculean Sarcophagus of Genzano was discovered and is now housed at the British Museum. The location of a tower belonging to the Genoese Gandolfi family, lords of Castel Gandolfo, dates back to the twelfth century. It was given to the Cistercian monks of St. Anastasius of Aquae Salviae in Rome by Pope Lucius III in 1183. Around a massive castle they constructed in 1235, the town subsequently expanded. The Popes gave it to Giordano Orsini in 1378. Genzano was alternately held by the Colonna and the Cistercians until 1563, when the Massimi received the castle in exchange for 150,000 scudos, and Giuliano Cesarini later purchased it. As there are two towns in Italy named Genzano, it was decided in 1873 to rename the town as Genzano di Roma in order to prevent misunderstanding with the postal service. It was the epicenter of multiple peasant uprisings in the 19th and early 20th centuries. During World War II, Allied bombing severely damaged it, destroying ninety percent of its buildings. It was selected, along with the City of Rome, as one of the shooting locations for Fast and Furious 10 in 2022 #History #Architecture
