Cerreto Laziale is a comune (municipality) in the Metropolitan City of Rome in the Italian region of Latium, located about 40 kilometres (25 mi) east of Rome.

Origins of the name

According to some, the name of the town refers to Mount “Cerretum”, near which the town is located. According to others, it derives from the Latin “Quercus cerris”, ie Turkey oak (since, previously, the territory where the town now stands was covered with Turkey oaks) with the addition of the collective suffix “-etum” which indicates abundance.
