This centre, situated along the left bank of the river Foro, is widely known for the folk festival of the "farchie".
The village takes its strange name from two different sources: Fara comes from a Lombard word meaning borough, and this tells us that the origins of the establishment go back to the early Middle Ages; Filiorum Petri refers to the later (XI century) inclusion of the centre in the possessions of Montecassino monastery.
