Cesano (RM)
52nd zone of Rome, Italy
Cesano is the 52nd zona of Rome, Italy, identified by the initials Z. LII. It takes its name from the small medieval village of Cesano di Roma, on the Via Cassia, which is located within the Municipio XV, 27 km from Rome proper.
History
The village of Cesano occupies a 240 m hill surrounded by the Monti Sabatini, near the Lakes of Bracciano and Martignano and near the now dried Lakes Stracciacappa and Baccano. It was a frazione of Campagnano di Roma until 1923, when at the request of the locals it was annexed to Rome (R.D. 3247 of December 23, 1923).
The most relevant holy day is the Holy Crucifix procession, which is held every September 14 since 1508.
Cesano is home to the Infantry School of the Italian Army and of the Casaccia Research Center of ENEA.
Geography
The zone is in the northern part of the municipality of Rome, in the Agro Romano. A large portion of it falls under the Regional Natural Park of Bracciano-Martignano and shares the eastern border with the Regional Park of Veii.
The zone is near to the ancient towns of Galeria and Veii and to the ancient Via Clodia.
Boundaries
The zone borders, to the north, with the municipality of Campagnano di Roma; to the north-west, it also borders with the municipality of Anguillara Sabazia.
Eastward, Cesano shares a border with the municipality of Formello.
To the south, the zone borders with Zona La Storta (Z. LI), from which is separated by the Rio Galeria and by Via di Baccanello, up to Via Cassia.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Cesano (RM)” as 52nd zone of Rome, Italy. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as 52nd zone of Rome, Italy. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Feb 24, 2023. The linked authority identifier is Q1056642. Authority coordinates are 42.080, 12.351. None of the 2 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1923 and 1508.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
