Fabrica Di Roma On the trail

The Via Amerina and the Fantibassi cutting, fifteen metres deep

Fabrica di Roma

The Romans did not go around this ridge, they went through it: a trench cut for the road, walls rising far over your head, and the wheel ruts still in the paving at the bottom of it.

How the day goes

  1. Onto the Via Amerina outside Fabrica di Roma, where the old surface survives.
  2. The Cavo degli Zucchi necropolis, with tomb doors opening straight off the roadside.
  3. Into the Fantibassi cutting, walking the road in the shade thrown by its own walls.
