History
The year of foundation of Gerano is unknown; however, it is known that in 1005 it constituted a castrum.{{cite web|url=http://www.gerano.rm.gov.it/home/esplorare/storia-ed-arte/storia-conoscere-le-origini/|title=Storia|publisher=Comune di Gerano|language=it|access-date=6 December 2020|archive-date=31 October 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201031092925/http://www.gerano.rm.gov.it/home/esplorare/storia-ed-arte/storia-conoscere-le-origini/|url-status=dead}} In the Middle Ages, due to its strategic and economic importance, as the capital of Massa Giovenzana (replacing the more ancient Trellanum), for a while, Pope Gregory VII was interested in it, who in 1077 confirmed Gerano to be divided between the diocese of Tivoli and the abbot of Subiaco.
