The Origin of the name Rovereto

The etymology of the city of Rovereto (Roboretus) comes from the Latin Roborem and derives from the same root as the word Robur: power, strength, strong. In Botany the word oak is related to a species of native oak of Europe, a lower height to the ordinary oak and that provides a very hard wood: Quercus petraea. In Roman toponymy "Roboretum" means forest of oak trees that grows everywhere in the valley and it is effigy of the coat of the communal arms.
