Informations
The name of Frascati appears for the first time in the "Liber Pontificialis" towards the half of IX century. Frascati was a little village, probably founded two centuries earlier. The name of the city probably comes from a typical local tradition of collecting firewood ("frasche" in Italian): many place-names around the town refer to trees or wood.
