History

During the Roman Empire, San Pietro di Rovereto was a military district along the extended Via Aurelia (Aurelian Way) between Genoa and Rome.[1] Remains of this period are on display in the village church of La Chiesa di San Pietro.[1] Domenico Canale, an Italian-American immigrant who created a successful produce and beer distributorship throughout the Southeastern United States and headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee, was from San Pietro di Rovereto.
