ジェナザーノ周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

「Selva di Paliano e Mola di Piscoli」自然保護区の中心部、オークの森、草原、そして水の流れの間に、古代中世の複合施設の魅力的な遺構である「Mola di Piscoli」が残っています。谷を横切る未舗装路には、大きな石造りのアーチと要塞化された塔のある農家が現れます。これは、水力を利用して製粉所を動かし、同時にサッコ川の谷底の通路を管理していた農村集落の痕跡です。 今日、保護地域に組み込まれているこの要塞化された農家は、農民の労働と資源および交通路を守る必要性によって形作られた田園地帯の物語を語っています。アーチは入り口の門として、塔は駐屯地およびプレネスティーニとエルニチの間の丘の監視所として機能していました。今日、遺跡は自然遊歩道、マウンテンバイクでの外出、そして自然の中での「デトックス」散策の舞台となっており、歴史的建造物と景観が一体となった、Selva di Palianoで最も特徴的な場所の一つとなっています。

The "Oak of Pierluigi da Palestrina" is a monumental downy oak located in the Cannuccete Valley, in the Prenestini Mountains, not far from Palestrina. This centuries-old tree, over 20 meters tall and with a circumference of over six meters, is considered one of the oldest and most impressive trees in Lazio. It is estimated to be between 500 and 700 years old. According to local tradition, the famous musician Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina loved to go to the foot of this oak tree to find inspiration and moments of reflection. Legend has it that the composer meditated and perhaps composed some of his works in the shade of this tree, although these details are not confirmed by historical sources.

really really very tiring

Between the towns of Colle Rampo and Polledrara, about 6 km from Paliano, there is this fortified farmhouse with a 13th-century square tower. The Sacco river valley has been the obligatory passage point between Lazio and Campania since the Roman period. The isolated towers, built inland at strategic points, formed a system of garrison and optical signaling between them. The de' Piscoli tower was the lookout outpost of the Prenestina and Latina roads. In the Middle Ages it was the obligatory passage to enter the Palianese territory, given that the road that led to Paliano passed over the Ponte della Mola, where there was a sentry who made people pay the crossing fee, called pontatico.

Take a peek at the Pierluigi Oak, a magnificent tree that is about 500 years old. The tale behind this tree is about Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina, a composer from the late 1500s. He enjoyed coming here to contemplate and find inspiration beneath it's shade.

tower that seems to come out of nowhere :)

A beautiful passage near Paliano, to reach this fortified farmhouse with a 13th century square tower.

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