Faieto is a suburb (''frazione'') of the nearby communal city, Cortino, in the Italian Province of Teramo. It lies at an altitude of about 2070 feet above sea level. ==History== Faieto takes its name from the many stands of beech trees on the village outskirts. It remains a mystery as to how these trees came to be in this exact location of the Province of Teramo. In any event, it is likely that in the years just prior to the end of the first century AD, the people of the Vomano, Tordino and surrounding valleys took refuge here from the raids and incursions of the Saracens and other barbarians. Written records concerning the history of Faieto are scarce. According to oral histories, the town at one time was located on the opposite, left bank of the stream known as the Fiumicello, a tributary of the Tordino River. In present times it is situated on the right bank. One reason postulated for this change in location relates to a seventeenth century landslide that destroyed all of the houses of the town. A competing explanation attributes this event to an earthquake sometime around the year 1703 that struck the nearby Gran Sasso region. At one time Faieto was administered by the commune of Valle San Giovanni. After the unification of Italy, the citizens of Faieto, along with several neighboring villages, petitioned a modification of their borders. This request was granted by the Prefect of Teramo on 16 May 1868. This resulted in the transfer of Faieto, along with the neighboring village of Casanova to the commune of Cortino. The De Ambrosiis, D'Andrea, Brunozzi families have roots in Faieto dating back many centuries. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Faieto」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
