파브리카 디 로마 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

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.

The waterfall was built to feed a canal, probably built by the populations that lived in this area even before the arrival of the Romans (at least the 5th century BC) and later, in the 1940s, the same canal fed a hydroelectric plant, now decommissioned. Currently, the canal is passable on foot (or by mountain bike) and connects the waterfall to the gorge below the town of Corchiano. The entire route, without difficulties, lasts about thirty minutes.

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 waterfall is located in an area known as “Orto del Sambuco”, along the course of the Rio Fratta. This place is characterized by a small grassy plain where the Rio Fratta creates a suggestive waterfall. In the immediate vicinity there is also an ancient Roman humpback bridge, adding a historical element to the natural landscape

Etruscan necropolis located on the ancient Via Amerina in the municipality of Fabrica di Roma

The Tagliate, or dark quarries, are very ancient roads carved into the sulphurous rock. The Tagliata Fantibassi is about 190 meters long, its walls are about 10-14 meters high, the road is 4 meters wide even if it sometimes narrows down to 1 meter. 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.
