Lame

The residential area of Lame boasts an ancient architecture built in stone dating back to the 17th-19th centuries. In Piazza del Ballo, you can admire a house with a suggestive vaulted passage and a lovely loggia. The church of S. Angelo (or S. Michele Arcangelo), well restored compared to other monuments in the area, preserves a precious portal with ashlar frames dating back to the 16th century. The owners of the houses, mainly residents in Rome, have completely restored the town and, almost every Sunday, visit you to preserve the link with the past. The toponym Lame derives from the local dialect, which comes from the Lombard "lama", which means mud, due to the proximity to a marshy river.

The feast of the Patron Saint, St. Michael, which was once celebrated on May 8th, is currently celebrated on the 2nd Saturday of August.
