from the web: "Ponte Amato, located near the Tagliata di Santa Maria di Cavanonte, is an isolated Roman bridge in the countryside near Gallicano nel Lazio. This ancient bridge allowed the ancient Via Prenestina to cross the valley of the Scalelle ditch, heading towards the city of Praeneste (Palestrina). Its exact dating is not certain, but the similarities with the Nona bridge (at the 9th mile of the Via Prenestina) suggest that it may date back to the second half of the 2nd century BC or the beginning of the 1st century BC. . The name “Ponte Amato” derives from Count Amato of Segni, who fortified it in the 10th century and took care of its restoration after a period of abandonment. After being neglected again for several centuries, the bridge was the subject of an excellent restoration in 2001 by the Archaeological Superintendency for Lazio, which returned it to its magnificent beauty. The arch of the bridge is characterized by a single rounded structure, and although the northern part collapsed during the fighting of the Second World War, the bridge still retains some of its original splendor. The dimensions of the Amato Bridge are impressive: it is made up of 17 rows of ashlar blocks in the shape of parallelepipeds of "lapis gabinus" (the famous gabine stone). The maximum height measured from the ditch surface is 10 metres. On the roadway, which reaches a width of 5.65 metres, the paving of the ancient Roman road is still visible. This site, belonging to the municipality of Gallicano nel Lazio, is part of an itinerary of great archaeological, landscape and wildlife interest. The surrounding area is crossed by four of Rome's public aqueducts: the Anius Vetus, the Aqua Marcia, the Aqua Claudia and the Anius Novus. A fascinating place to explore, immersed in a suggestive natural environment."

It is a challenging but absolutely wonderful path, to be followed like the ancient pilgrims, in silence and prayer...

The path is dedicated to Pope John Paul II who used to take walks in the little frequented areas of the Prenestini mountains. The route is not very demanding, except in the final part at the foot of the sanctuary, and crosses a wooded area of considerable interest. It is recommended to walk it especially in spring when the bottom of the wood is covered with many species of flowers and the Falconara ditch is full of water.
