The town of Canino is strung scenically along a narrow ridge in the northwestern tip of Latium province. Much of the architecture in the town is of a historical nature, which whimsical touches, reflecting less of the cloistered feelings of the mountainous interior of the country, and more of the airiness of the sun-washed coast.

The town dates back to Etruscan time, later becoming the residence of the Farnese family. The municipality was vested in the mid-15th century by Alessandro Farnese, who later became Pope Paul III.
