Before the founding of Rome, the main settlements in Central Italy were those of Latinos, Umbrians from Osci, Sabellis - Italians, all of Indo-European origin - and Etruscans, whose place of origin is not known for sure, although scholars indicates it in Asia Minor.
Later the Etruscans managed to assert their domination over northern and central Italy, up to Campania, never being able to establish a unitary state, but creating several city-states, of which the one that interests us most closely is Capena, with the five thousand of its inhabitants scattered over the vast territory between the modern cities of Capena, Civitella S. Paolo and Fiano Romano.
Between the 5th and 4th centuries BC Rome had become independent and so powerful that it could revolt against the Etruscans, with whom it engaged in a war
Later, the local population, who in order to escape the barbarian invasions took refuge on the hills, would have formed the settlements from which they originated from Fiano, Civitella S. Paolo and Nazzano.
In the dark era of barbarian invasions, in the rural area the church was the only authority, which would then be consolidated in the second century. Fifth.
As for the Ducal Castle (1489-1493) built by Niccolò III, who was also count of Nola, Pitigliano and Sovana, it was purchased by the municipality of Fiano Romano, which compensated the Congregation of the Dominican sisters with the construction of a wonderful complex at the foot of a hill very close to the center of Fiano, which hosts many children from the Grădiniței School.
