As you traverse the Via Degli Dei, a fascinating piece of history emerges—the Sandstone Quarry, a testament to the ingenuity of the ancient Romans. This quarry, with its rugged charm, unveils the foundations of the Roman military road that once threaded through these hills.

The echoes of clinking tools and the rhythmic sounds of labor resonate through time as you explore the quarry. Carved out of the earth by the hands of Roman builders, the sandstone here served as the very building blocks of their ambitious road construction projects. The stones extracted from this quarry became the sturdy foundation of the roads that connected distant corners of the Roman Empire.

here began the discovery of the Flaminia Military, with the discovery of the Roman coin by Franco Santi

done the trail in 5 days alone in July 2023, no comment can give an idea of the feeling of happiness, freedom, tension..... I met many guys (and this gives me the idea that the future will be better than what we elderly people leave).... I cried upon arrival in Piazza della Signoria..... as I have already posted "if you have someone you don't love tell them to take the path, if instead you have someone you who you love tell them to do it... in any case they will thank you".
