Vermicino is a village and civil parish (frazione) of the Italian municipality of Frascati, in the Province of Rome, Lazio.

[2] In the north of the village there is a locality, mainly composed by some scattered houses, named Selvotta, considered part of Vermicino.

Vermicino owes its name to an event that took place in 1183, when the troops of Archbishop Cristiano of Mainz came to the rescue of the Counts of Tusculum, besieged by the Romans.

In the middle of the original village there is a fountain, built in 1731 by the order of the Pope Clement XII and designed by Luigi Vanvitelli.

[5] The media emphasis to that event connected, in Italy, the name of the semi-unknown Vermicino to the tragedy of Rampi's family.
