ファブリカディローマのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

Walking along via S. Egidio, you will find the beginning of this short but very suggestive path inside a "via cava" (roads dug through the tuff that connected the bottom of the valley with the territories above and, in other areas, were also used to drain excess water from agricultural land). This via cava is full of caves dug directly into the tuff, probably used as stables or cellars to store wine or food.

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.

The average slope of the track is approximately 15%.

Via Amerina was built in the 4th century BC. C. in the period of Roman expansion. It was completed after the destruction of the Faliscan capital Falerii Veteres, in 241 BC, when the Romans simultaneously built Faleri Novi.

The Necropolis of Cavo degli Zucchi is the largest existing Faliscan necropolis. It is suggestive to walk among the tombs dug into the walls of the cut that runs along the road.

The beautiful village of Civita di Castellana is perched on a tuff hill. It has an interesting history for having been the capital of the Falisci in pre-Roman times.

Corchiano is an ancient Faliscan city, a people who shared the dominion of Tuscia with the Etruscans. The village retains its medieval layout, with winding alleys and suggestive squares.
