Car Hire Colleferro - Mini guide to Colleferro

Colleferro is situated in the province of Rome, in the Lazio region. Colleferro has made news recently thanks to the discovery of an ancient Roman road, uncovered during excavation works for a purification plant between Colleferro and Artena (near Rome).

It is thought that the old road might actually be older than the old Via Appia, and possibly a deviation of the old Via Latina. If the road is extended out, it is believed to pass by the ruins of an ancient Roman villa, and continue on to the cemetery.

Colleferro is also a scene of some protest due to the many explosives and ammunitions plants – indeed, Colleferro was designed as a factory town in 1930, during the Fascist regime, with the intent of manufacturing gunpowder and explosives for the army.

As people traveled to work in the new factory, the town grew up around it and gradually expanded. More factories came along, bringing more work and more residents. One such factory, producing cluster bombs, has attracted a lot of attention of late from protesters.

Another factory, Simmel Defense, was the subject of an explosion and fire which killed one person and seriously injured several more – the factory manufactures warheads, rockets, ammunition and explosives for Italian and international armies.

Essentially a factory town, Colleferro still boasts a wide selection of restaurants and attractions, among them the castle perched atop a hill, that is not to be missed. The Lazio region is famous for its culture, religion, art, architecture, history and archaeology. So there is truly something for everyone in Lazio and Colleferro.
