Province of Roma, Lazio (Latium) Region, Italy

Frascati is situated south-east of the city of Rome, in the area of the Castelli Romani, and close to the ancient city of Tusculum, an episcopal see, one of the seven suburbicarian dioceses of Rome. The town has a number of notable villas since it was a popular retreat for Romans during the summer months. Earth Observation missions of the European Space Agency are based in Frascati, as is a major high energy physics laboratory, the Laboratorio Nazionale di Frascati.
