Guidonia Montecelio is a town in the province of Rome, Lazio, central Italy.
[edit] History
Montecelio was created in 998 as a fortified castrum (Castrum Monticellorum). In 1915 a military airport was built in the area. Guidonia was therefore created in 1937, its name chosen to honour the air force general Alessandro Guidoni, who had died while landing at Montecelio.
