The history of the current Castel Giubileo dates back directly to the ancient city of Fidenae which, based on archaeological evidence, was built around the 11th century BC in an extremely important strategic position between Via Salaria and Via Nomentana.

The settlement, surrounded by walls, extended its control also to the area of Monte Sacro and was flourishing – above all in consideration of the fertility of the soil (due to the proximity to the river and the presence of volcanic debris or Tuffs) – even before the foundation of Rome.

The present urban settlement was built after World War II by immigrants coming from many Italian regions, including the first Venetian farmhands, called by Mussolini for the reclamation of the Ager Romanus.

The disaster had great resonance at the time, as the crashed train was transporting the foreign delegations who had just attended the funeral of King Umberto I and the subsequent coronation of Victor Emmanuel III.

The historical village of Castel Giubileo, wedged between the Via Salaria and the river Tiber, is made up of three small, distinct cores, one of which is located on the low hill where the homonymous castle rises.

Odonyms of the zone can be categorized as follows: The area is crossed by a viaduct, three sections of which are dedicated to the presidents of the Italian Republic[6] Sandro Pertini, Antonio Segni and Giuseppe Saragat.
