ロッカサントステファノ周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

This mill, built by Benedictine monks around the year 1000, was a fundamental point of reference for the inhabitants of the town and the surrounding areas. For centuries, people brought grain here to be ground, relying on the power of the water that, even today, flows clear and abundant. Today, all that remains of the Mola are the sturdy walls and the room where the milling took place, immersed in an almost fairy-tale landscape. All around, the river makes its way through moss and waterfalls, creating water games and reflections of light that make the atmosphere magical, especially in the early hours of the morning or at sunset. It is easy to let your imagination run wild and think about what life here must have been like once upon a time, with the noise of the millstones and the smell of freshly baked bread that spread through the houses of Jenne. The Vecchia Mola is not only a place of historical memory, but also an oasis of uncontaminated nature. In the surrounding area there are crystalline springs, such as that of the Cardellino, and paths that invite you to explore woods, caves and small waterfalls. Traveling along these routes, you often meet hikers, families and nature lovers, all attracted by the simple and authentic beauty of this corner of Lazio.

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

"The Villa of Nero is a historic site located in Subiaco, Italy. It was part of a much larger and more complex Roman villa that was later used by Saint Benedict. The villa is located on the right bank of the Aniene River, along the road leading to the Benedictine monasteries of Subiaco. The remains of the villa are small but still provide evidence of one of the most original and ambitious works of the Roman Empire. The villa was built by Emperor Nero in 60 AD, before he built the Domus Aurea in Rome. The structure was located in a rural area along the Aniene river and was characterized by three artificial lakes, the Simbruina Stagna, which were created by three dams on the river. The lakes were designed to integrate with the surrounding natural environment and modify it in ways unthinkable for that time. The remains of the villa are a testimony to its grandeur and magnificence".
