バッサーノ・イン・テヴェリーナのおすすめツーリングルート

This well-trodden dirt road passes through an area of oak and olive trees just below the village of Giove. It's ideal for a leisurely ride.

This ancient medieval tower can be reached by following a short path through the woods that starts from the dirt road between Giove and Penne in Teverina.

This palace-castle stands on the ruins of a temple dedicated to Jupiter Elicius, hence its name. The first traces of construction date back to the 12th century, and the structure has been modified and remodeled over time. Visits to the interior are available by sending a request to the association that manages it: castellogiove@gmail.com.

Once past the newer part of Attigliano, right at the end of the town, lies this corner of ancient beauty: six columns testifying to the presence of the ancient church of San Lorenzo, dating back to the 16th century, overlooking the upper Tiber Valley.

On the road to Grotte Santo Stefano there is a sacred Moai statue that originates from Easter Islands. The statue is about 10 m high and was made in the early 1990s. For this purpose, 11 members of the Maori Atan family came over from Easter Islands. They were followed for 4 weeks in a television programme on the RAI. The statue is the only one in the world that is located outside Easter Islands. The statue was made from a single piece of peperino stone. From this panoramic point you have a beautiful view of the old town of Vitorchiano, which is built entirely on a rock. In addition, your wish can come true if you touch the navel of the Moai with your hands…

"The statue was created in 1990 by eleven members of the Atan family, originally from Rapa Nui (Easter Island). The project was born during the RAI television program “Alla ricerca dell’arca” by journalist Mino d’Amato, with the aim of promoting the restoration of the Moai on Easter Island. Vitorchiano was chosen as the ideal location for the construction thanks to the presence of peperino, a volcanic stone similar to that used for the original Moai. The Atan craftsmen used the same traditional techniques, working with axes and stones to sculpt the monument.".
