You simply have to have walked along the Via Appia Antica. Here is one of the most beautiful and best-preserved sections of the route, with many tombs. If you can set it up, you should go as early as possible in the morning or early evening, when the light is best for taking photos.

Via Appia Antica (Ancient Appian Way)

Highlight • Historical Site

The first suburban miles of Via Appia Antica in southeastern Rome are a Grade I archeological site and a popular recreational area. The road and its surroundings are protected as a regional park from the further approach of suburban development. As an arterial road, the Appia was in antiquity lined with tombs, estates and spas. In addition to numerous aboveground monuments on the edge of the road are some excavations and the entrances to several early Christian catacombs. (Source: Wikipedia)

At the passage under the bridge, take the left side (if you come from Rome) and vice versa, as it is wider.

Park of the Aqueducts

Highlight • Monument

One of the most fascinating parks in Rome is enclosed between Via Appia and Via Tuscolana and extends for about 240 hectares, between the scenic attractions of the Roman countryside up to the Castles and an atmosphere suspended in time, especially enjoyable in the pink light of sunset, when the imposing arches of the Claudio aqueduct and the Felice aqueduct, framed by pine trees, stand out against the sun in all their evocative and evocative beauty.
Rich in history, the Parco degli Acquedotti is one of the green lungs of the city, its name derives from the fact that here was the fundamental hub of the water network of ancient Rome, a point where the aqueducts intersected, joined and overlapped which supplied the capital, the immense patrician villas, the thermal baths and the fountains with water.
In the area there are seven aqueducts: the Anio Vetus, the Anio Novus, the Aqua Marcia, the Tepula, the Iulia aqueduct, the Aqua Claudia aqueduct and the Felice aqueduct, still functioning, built in 1585. by Pope Sixtus V, Felice Peretti, on the arches of the Marcio Aqueduct. In addition to the aforementioned aqueducts, in this area there are other interesting ancient buildings, including the Villa delle Vignacce, the old Roma farmhouse and the Villa dei Sette Bassi.
Strolling around the park means allowing yourself a few hours of complete relaxation away from the chaos of the city, among paths lined with streams, waterfalls, trees and pastures, and obviously immerse yourself in the atmosphere of the Rome of the past.
The Parco degli Acquedotti, as it is made, is one of the most instagrammable places in Rome… not to be missed.

Via Appia Antica is very impressive, but the last section is barely rideable (I mostly pushed) and just before Frattochie everything is covered in broken glass.

Oh yes, a warning about the Hotel Excel Roma Ciampino, because even the 3.3 star rating from Google is overrated when the mold jumps out at you in the shower.
