Colleverde

History

The name of the frazione comes from the name of the hill the urban center developed itself on over the years. During the existence of the Roman Empire the area was inhabited.

From 1528 it belonged to the Tre Fontane Abbey, then to the Bolis family, then to the Moroni family, and now to the Bona family. e style of the church resembles the ones that were popular back in the second half of the 20th century. It is located in "Colleverde square". Inside some paintings from local artists can be seen. Today's urban area of Colleverde started to develop in the 1970.
