Shady forest trails.
We pass the National School of Golf,quite a contrast to the surrounding countryside and make our way towards Monterosi,slightly uphill.

The town has a long and colourful history including invasions, papal interventions and assassinations. There is a small 30-hectare volcanic lake within the city limits.
Lago Monterosi.
A straightforward route to the next stop of significance, Mont Gelato with its renowned waterfalls.
We fork left after the park and walk upwards along an asphalt road, through hazelnut orchards. We come close by the Vallelunga motor racing track ( No Italian drivers’ jokes please…oh go on then ). We descend to cross the bed of a season stream,running alongside the Parco Regionale Di Veio.

Today’s saunter, not unusually, ends with an uphill climb on switchbacks before sighting Campagnano.
A pretty town in the gentle Lazio hills north of Rome, Campagnano di Roma retains the atmosphere of the Middle Ages. Its “medieval borgo” has towers and sinewy streets to enjoy, and the ancient Porta Roma, gateway into the city, still stands proudly next to the City Hall, and opens onto Corso Emanuele, the main street. It is lined with pastel palazzi, shops, eateries and coffee bars, before spilling out into Piazza Leonelli, with its fancy fountain by Vignoli in the middle guarded by an old clock tower.
The Piazza della Fontana Secca, or dry fountain, features antique basins where spring water collected, both washing clothes. The church of San Giovanni Battisti was built in 1515 and features some fine frescoes. The archeological museum shows off artifacts found in the area, which was an Etruscan zone before being taken over by the Romans.
“An ancient restaurant, born in the early 1900s as a tavern-inn, expanded and renovated over time.
Our cuisine is typically Roman, over time it develops and becomes more creative, reinterpreting traditional Roman-regional dishes.” HOTEL WEBSITE
