Albano Laziale

Albano Laziale, sometimes known simply as Albano (Romanesco: Arbano; Latin: Albanum), is a comune (municipality) in the Metropolitan City of Rome Capital, on the Alban Hills, in the Italian region of Lazio. Rome is 25 kilometres (16 mi) distant. It is bounded by other communes of Castel Gandolfo, Rocca di Papa, Ariccia and Ardea. Partially included in the Roman Castles Regional Park, Albano is one of its most important municipalities, and a busy commercial centre. It has been also a suburbicarian bishopric since the 5th century, a historic principality of the Savelli family, and from 1699 to 1798 the inalienable possession of the Holy See.
