Labro (Rieti province)

More formally, Labro is one of the remoter villages of central Italy in the mountains about 21 km N of the provincial capital of Rieti, on a side road from Terni in Umbria (19 km W) to Leonessa (24 km ENE).

The town, thoroughly medieval in appearance, with small arched streets, is not said to have any outstanding monument; in translation, that means just the medieval castle the tower of which you see above, at the very top of the hill; the parish church of S. Maria (1508) with several attractive items, mostly wood, of the same period; and the 15c church of the Madonna della Neve with a Renaissance door and a beautiful cloister.

So, until I get closer to Labro than my current best of 500 yards, I'll point out the obvious: for much fuller and better information, you should see the sites linked in the navigation bar at the bottom of this page.

Frazioni

Most of the comuni in the Lazio include in their territories some smaller towns and hamlets, of a few hundred inhabitants if that, with a certain administrative identity of their own: as elsewhere in Italy, these are referred to as the frazioni of the comune. I've been unable, however, to determine whether Labro — itself already a very small place, after all — has any frazioni, and if so, which. Some sublocalities are listed on Metropolis' database of comuni, but indiscriminately labeled as frazioni, although they may not be.
