THE ENTRANCE TO THE TOWN

Colleferro is a town located at about 40 miles from Rome that

you can reach in about 40 minutes. There are 23.000

inhabitants.

History of Colleferro

• Our town is very young because it was born in 1935 in the area near Rome where a wealthy family built a gunpowder factory. This area was chosen for its strategic position: it is close to a river, it is in a flat position and it is close to the railway.

The rocket Vega

• This important factory has undergone many transformations over the years. Today the factory produces the first Italian satellite launcher called Vega. It was launched for the first time in space on the 13th of February 2012.

The Piombinara castle

• Being a young town there aren’t historical places. This is a medieval castle, called Piombinara whose origins date back to 1000 d.C.• First it was built as a defence castle, then it became a sort of “farm”, a Palace and nowdays it is going to be restaurated
