Bassano Romano is a municipality in the province of Viterbo. The territory is predominantly hilly and is located halfway between Lake Bracciano and Lake Vico, both of volcanic origin. The origins of Bassano date back to around the year one thousand. From a medieval village to a marquisate and then a principality,
Bassano Romano is a tourist destination for its palace and its beautiful beech forest; it also retains a rare authenticity with narrow alleys and ups and downs. You can admire beautiful portals in tuff or peperino and the ancient doors in chestnut wood, a true cultural element which, however, is disappearing. Nestled in the small village is Villa Giustiniani, a masterpiece between mannerism and baroque. It was initially a medieval castle of the powerful Anguillara family, who then sold it to Giuseppe Giustiniani, a wealthy merchant and diplomat. Today, thanks to the restoration work of the Superintendence, the Villa has returned to its splendor and is an increasingly popular tourist destination for lovers of art tourism.
