history

Ciampino owes its name to the prelate and Christian archaeologist Giovanni Giustino Ciampini , who acquired the Ad Decimum estate in the 17th century . This later became known as Il casale di Ciampino ( Ciampino's estate). With the opening of the first railway line of the Papal States from Rome to Frascati in 1856 a first small settlement arose which belonged to the municipality Marino at the breakpoint Ciampino. In 1910, the Società Anonima Cooperativa Colli Parioli acquired land in the area on the Via Appia Nuova to create a garden city . In 1916, the Regia Marina's first airfield was designated. The military airfield was opened in 1924 and has also been used for civil flights since 1947.

Ciampino was heavily bombed during World War II. Then the actual expansion of the settlement began. In 1974 Ciampino was spun off from Marino as an independent municipality. In 2004 it received city rights.
