The eternal enemies of Rome

Who lived here before the Romans came? It was our most ancient ancestors, the Italics, who dwelled in the thick woods of the Giovenzano Valley. Walk through the paths of nature and come discover the history of the Aequi, those whom Titus Livius called the aeterni hostes of the Romans! Their traces scattered throughout the area date back to over 2,500 years ago!

Based in Ciciliano, the Articolo 9 Association has pledged to make things easier for you. You will come across panels that provide information on the trails. Once you venture into the woods, you will encounter huge stone flowers, which have been built to delimit the fortified upland villages and old road substructures. Dive into an ancient world of proud warriors, shepherds and flocks, and take some good cheese and bread with you to enjoy at the sight of a stunning, unaltered view.
