🌋 Stracciacappa Lake: Traces of a Volcanic Past In the heart of the Bracciano-Martignano Regional Natural Park, near Campagnano di Roma, lies the ancient basin of Stracciacappa Lake. Once similar to Lakes Bracciano and Martignano, this volcanic lake was drained in the 19th century by a canal. Today, its basin is cultivated and surrounded by pastures, yet it retains its charm intact. Watching over this peaceful landscape is the Stracciacappa Tower, an 11th-century medieval building that dominates the promontory. It's an unmissable vantage point for those who love cycling through history and nature.

Corchiano is a small town in the province of Viterbo, apparently similar to many others, a little modest... and yet, it has become famous for some events, such as the infiorata, which is held at the end of May and sees the entire town involved in decorating a good part of the streets of the town with flower petals, colored sawdust, coffee grounds and in general any material that can be colored and applied in designs of great beauty. Then, in December, the living nativity scene takes place in a natural setting of great suggestion, finally, the exploration on foot of the ravines should not be overlooked, a true natural monument and archaeological site of great interest... in short, a place that is worth visiting. The difficulty in walking the paths, all equipped, is generally T (tourist) and suitable for all age levels.

Beautiful waterfalls found on the Via Francigena between Sutri and Campagnano di Roma... it's a shame that their waters are particularly polluted.

On the way to the top of Soratte, just before the San Silvestro hermitage, you can take the path on the left that leads to the small San Sebastiano hermitage, of which modest wall traces remain. The latter was home to hermits in the 16th and 17th centuries, after which it began to be abandoned and fell into ruin. In the rock there is a cavity used to collect water. Short trail but to be followed with care.

This hermitage has a patronal name that is truly on everyone's lips, but only a few will know the person behind it: the feast day of Saint Sylvester (San Silvestro) is December 31st. He lived at the end of the third or beginning of the fourth century and was Bishop of Rome when Emperor Constantine - later generations gave him the nickname "the Great" - recognized Christianity as a religion with the so-called "Edict of Toleration" of Milan, thus ending - at least temporarily - the period of bloody persecution of Christians.

Cascata di Monte Gelato, located in the Parco Regionale Valle del Treja (Treja Valley Regional Park), is a captivating natural wonder in the Lazio region of Italy. It consists of a series of small waterfalls along the Treja River. Some of these falls are natural, while others have been shaped by human intervention. The constant flow of water over layers of volcanic rock has sculpted these picturesque waterfalls for millennia
