Itinerary

Appian Way

Many parts of the original road close to Rome have been preserved and it is possible to walk on the ancient roman paved made up of “sanpietrini” to feel completely immersed in the Ancient Roman atmosphere
 

Capo di Bove

Circus and Villa di Massenzio

One of the most beautiful archaeological sites in the Roman countryside can be found between the second and third mile on the Via Appia Antica. This is the site of the Villa belonging to Emperor Maxentius. The archaeological complex consists of three main buildings: the palace, a circus and dynastic mausoleum. The three buildings were constructed to blend with the natural contours in the area, to avoid having to resort to extensive excavation works. 

Caffarella Valley

The green fields, ancient monuments, old farm buildings, woods and ponds all merge into a single, unifying complex that represents a really attractive place to explore and to relax far away from the urban frenetic pace.
 

Pc-nic Italian Style

Coming back to our meeting point we will choose our favorite place to stop in the shadow and enjoy a delicious meal with wine, cheese, salami and other finger food according to the Italian traditional Pic-nic style.
