Anagni
The town of the popes, with a frescoed crypt underneath and Cesanese vines around it.
9 days outthe nearest is a 1 h 01 drive from Rome
Four popes came from Anagni, and the cathedral they left behind has a crypt frescoed floor to ceiling in the twelfth century — several hundred square metres of it, and the colours have never been repainted. The palace where Boniface VIII was seized is round the corner.
Outside the walls the Sacco valley grows Cesanese, the one red the hills east of Rome are known for, and the estates here are small enough that the person pouring made it.
