History & geography

History

The first settlements in the area can be dated to the Roman Republican era: the neighbourhood developed around the Via Tiburtina Roman road and a crossroads, and included two Roman inns and many Roman villas and tombs. In the Middle Age, the locality was called Campo dei Sette Fratelli ("Field of the Seven Brothers") or Forno dei Septe Fratri ("Oven of the Seven Brothers"): both names were related to the legend of Saint Symphorosa and her seven children, (Crescens, Eugenius, Julian, Justin, Nemesius, Primitivus and Stracteus), martyred in the near Tibur (present Tivoli, Lazio, Italy) toward the end of the reign of the Roman Emperor Hadrian. Later, it was called simply Forno ("Oven") or Osteria del Forno ("Tavern of the Oven"), in reference to a farmstead located south of Via Tiburtina, which is currently known as Casale di Settecamini. The current toponym Settecamini began to be used in the second half of the 19th century, and the Rome municipality toponymic dictionary states that it derived from "the seven chimneys ("sette camini") of the building known as Il Fornaccio. A small church, in late Baroque style, was built in 1700 at the crossroads between Via Tiburtina and Via Casal Bianco. The modern settlement developed as a rural village at the beginning of the twentieth century, on some lands owned by the Duke Leopoldo Torlonia. Later, some houses were assigned to the First World War veterans. The inhabited area has now an extension of 21.612 km2 and a population of about 19,000 inhabitants. Discovered in 1951 it is located at 9th mile of the Tiburtina (whose ancient pavement is visible), halfway between Rome and Tibur (Tivoli), where the Via Tiburtina crossed the road that led from the Aniene river to Etruria and Sabina. It was a settlement with several…
