Genzano, the via Virbia and the nineteenth mile of the Appian Way

Genzano di Roma

At Montecagnoletto the Appia still has its Roman surface, with the kerbstones and the retaining works beside it — the only stretch around here where you can see how the road was built.

How the day goes

  1. Palazzo and Parco Sforza Cesarini first, then the Castelluccia quarter.
  2. From the Castelluccia the whole crater of Lake Nemi lies below you.
  3. Santa Maria della Cima and the Clementine fountains on the way through.
  4. It ends at the Roman villa of the Antonines, outside the town.
