Isola Farnese Village
Highlight • Settlement
At the center of the village, which became a Roman municipality after the conquest of the city of Veio, there was a small square with a column in the center and a church built in 1400, the Church of San Pancrazio. On the island there was a medieval castle which in the 1500s was purchased by the Farnese family, from which it later took its name.
As in every fairy tale, the castle was separated from the rest of the town by an artificial moat, which could be overcome thanks to a drawbridge; it was surrounded by walls that divided it from small houses inhabited by the inhabitants of the village…
Thus began the tale of Isola Farnese, the magical village of the 15th Municipality, the small town immersed in the Parco di Veio and only a couple of kilometers away from the highly populated districts of La Storta and Olgiata.
A timeless place, where the clock seems to have stopped with the intention of preserving the past and tradition, the little jewel between the Valle della Storta and the Pianoro della Comunità Campetti, hidden between Via Cassia and the countryside hills that lead up to Formello.
So small but rich in history, the Insula takes its name from its conformation and from Cardinal Alessandro Farnese who in the 17th century became the owner of the castle, now private property.
