In 2015, the Artemisio Forest Refuge, owned by the Municipality of Velletri, was assigned on loan for modal use to the temporary association "Natura Matura" which will manage the refuge for ten years.
The temporary purpose association Natura Matura is made up of various associations present and operating in the Castelli Romani area.

Pratoni del Vivaro

Highlight • Natural

At the foot of Rocca di Papa, the Pratoni del Vivaro valley appears as a wide grassy expanse, bordered to the south-east by Monte Artemisio, and to the north by the Maschio delle Faete and Monte Cavo. The immense expanse, which falls partly in the Municipality of Rocca di Papa and partly in that of Velletri, is known as a destination for trips and outings for the possibility of mountain biking and long horseback riding.

Sacred Way - Monte Cavo

Highlight • Trail

The Via Sacra is a beautiful paved road from the Roman era that climbs to the top of Monte Cavo. Today it is famous above all for the panoramic point to which it leads, called "Occhialone", from which you can enjoy a suggestive panorama that simultaneously embraces the two lakes in the area, that of Albano and that of Nemi.

This mountain was so important because on its top stood the temple of Jupiter of Latium. Every year, at the temple, the Feriae Latinae were held, great celebrations in honor of this divinity, particularly important in Lazio. The road that went up the mountain to reach this sacred place therefore took the name of Via Sacra. And this same road was also traveled by the victorious generals who celebrated their triumph: for this reason it was also known as the triumphal road.

The temple of Giove Laziale, however, was replaced in the Middle Ages by a hermitage dedicated to St. Peter. This later became a monastery and in more modern times even a hotel, where various important people seem to have stayed.

Today Monte Cavo is an important radio and television transmission center. And in fact on its top there are essentially only antennas, repeaters and various pylons.
