Castel Gandolfo is a small Italian (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italy) town in Lazio (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lazio) that occupies a height overlooking Lake Albano (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Albano) about 30 km south-east of Rome (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rome), on the Alban Hills (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alban_Hills). It is best known as the summer residence of the Pope (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope).
Archaeological findings from the 16th century BC (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/16th_century_BC) have been found in the area of what is now Castel Gandolfo.
The modern city occupies the site of ancient Alba Longa (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alba_Longa), capital of the Latin league. Its name is derived from a fortification of the ducal Gandolfi family (of Genoese (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genoa) origin, named after St. Gondolfus (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Gondolfus)) in the 12th century (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/12th_century), which passed to the Savelli (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Savelli) family from whom the Apostolic Camera purchased it in 1596 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1596) for 150,000 scudi. Pope Clement VIII (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clement_VIII) was the first pope to come to Castel Gandolfo, but the rebuilding of the old castle was the project of Urban VIII (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urban_VIII) who first came in 1626 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1626).
