Viterbo
Viterbo is an ancient town and comune in the Lazio region of central Italy, the capital of Viterbo province, 42°25 12°06E, at 326 m (1070 ft) above sea-level. It is approximately 100 kilometers (60 mi) north of Rome.
Stampate
Viterbo has two Stampate (badges): The Lion and the Palm Tree. Local mythology says that Hercules was one of the founders of Viterbo, and the lion is said to represent him. The palm tree was added sometime in the dark ages (4th-9th century AD) when Viterbo conquered and absorbed a neighboring town (whose emblem was the palm tree).
