If you ask about Chiesa San Michele Arcangelo, no one in Formello knows it. Yet if you ask for "S. Angelo," everyone will point it out to you without hesitation. And in fact, that's what you'll also find written on the old yellow sign that stands right under the stunning Romanesque bell tower. Of Romanesque design, there is documentary evidence of it dating back to the 12th century, and it stood along the Via Francigena. Actually operational until 1800, along with the nearby San Lorenzo, it was then compromised by collapses due to adverse weather conditions. Despite continuing to be used into the 20th century, it was closed in a deplorable state of abandonment. A layer of whitewash had already covered what had been spared by the Baroque renovations, resulting in the structure visible today. This was removed at the beginning of the new millennium, revealing a marvelous cycle of frescoes, perhaps from the school of Antoniozzo Romano, the same artist who painted the Bessarione Chapel in the Basilica of the Twelve Holy Apostles. The frescoes depict scenes from the life of Saint Michael (with an unusual and unprecedented reference to the Divine Comedy).

Piazza Navona is one of Rome's most famous and beautiful squares, known for its elegant Baroque architecture, monumental fountains, and vibrant atmosphere. Built on the site of the ancient Stadium of Domitian (1st century AD), where athletic competitions were held, it is a square with a long, curved shape that follows the layout of the original stadium. It was transformed into a public square in the 15th century and beautified in the 17th century under the papacy of Innocent X.

The Trevi Fountain is one of Rome's most iconic monuments and a jewel of Baroque art. Construction: Begun in 1732 by Nicola Salvi and completed in 1762 by Giuseppe Pannini.

The Temple of Antoninus Pius and Faustina is an ancient building in Rome.
