Bellegra is a town and comune in the Province of Rome, in the ancient Lazio region of Italy.

Its original name had been Civitella (Latin: Civitas Vitellia). The town council changed that name to its current one in 1880, out of the belief that the town lay on the site of an ancient town called Belecre, possibly from the Latin bella aegra (blood-stained wars).[1]
