ALL OF LA CIOCIARIA IN ITS BEAUTY
Villa Sant'Erasmo is located near the characteristic Canterno lake in Ciociaria, a stone's throw from the cities of Fumone, Anagni, and Fiuggi. An ideal location to visit famous tourist destinations and breathe a bit of nature.
Ciociaria is famous for Fiuggi water, but it should not be forgotten that it is a wonderful territory also known for its wine.
From high Ciociaria, between the provinces of Rome and Frosinone, the road winds through a green landscape, among hills and mountains with soft and sometimes rocky profiles. Vineyards dominate the landscape, among olive groves, wheat fields, and grazing meadows.
For those instead looking for relaxation and wellness, the well-known thermal town of Fiuggi is only a few minutes away from the property.
Fiuggi is an Italian city in the province of Frosinone in Lazio. The city is located at the foot of the Ernici Mountains in the southeast of Lazio, a few kilometers from the border with Abruzzo. The old town is situated on a hill, while the area of the Thermal Springs is located lower down. To the southwest lies the city of Anagni, while further east, a few kilometers from Fiuggi, is the small Canterno Lake. To the north is the Monti Simbruini Regional Natural Park where the Pietra Valley is located, dividing the Lazio region from Abruzzo. The provincial capital Frosinone is located about 30 km south of Fiuggi, while Rome is about 80 km to the northwest.
FIUGGI
Anagni, the ancient Anagnia, capital of the Ernici, stands on a hill between the Ernici mountains and the Valle del Sacco. Legend ranks it among the "Saturnian cities," the five cities in Lazio founded by the god Saturn (Anagni, Alatri, Arpino, Atina, and Ferentino, the latter also known as Antino).
Subdued by the Romans in 306 B.C., it was governed by a prefect and later became a municipality. The Roman general and consul (69 A.D.) Fabio Valente was born in Anagni in 35 B.C., a member of an important equestrian family of the city; he was a close friend of the emperor Nero and commander of the Legio I Germanica; during the "Year of the Four Emperors" he was the commander of Vitellius's troops.
ANAGNI
It was built on the ruins of the ancient Roman municipality called Cereatae,[2] because it was dedicated to the goddess Cerere. The name Casamari derives from the Latin language and means "House of Marius," homeland of Gaius Marius, a famous military leader, seven times consul and adversary of Sulla in the civil war of 88 BC, also remembered in the name of the road along which the abbey stands (connecting Frosinone with Sora): via Mària.
With the decline of the Roman Empire and the subsequent barbarian invasions, Cereatae-Casa Marii suffered the same fate as the decline of Rome until the Benedictine monks in the 11th century settled in the place and founded the abbey.
CASAMARI
It is one of the main cities in Ciociaria and the third most populous in the province after Frosinone and Cassino. It is the ancient Aletrium, one of the oldest centers in Lazio, which was one of the main cities of the Italic people of the Ernici and one of the so-called Saturnian Cities.
Mainly known for the pre-Roman acropolis surrounded by well-preserved megalithic walls, notable for its imposing Porta Maggiore, followed by the Porta Minore or dei Falli, it also has a significant heritage of monuments of remarkable architectural and artistic interest, such as the Romanesque-Gothic collegiate church of Santa Maria Maggiore.
ALATRI
Veroli is believed to have been present since the 12th century BC. Ancient Verŭlae was one of the allied towns of Rome, as evidenced by the tables of the Verulani Fasti: a Roman marble calendar dating back to the 1st century AD.
In 743, it became an episcopal see, as still evidenced today by the numerous churches within the territory.
In the 16th century, the Spanish allies of the Colonna family occupied the city. Once liberated, it was subjected to a government of cardinals. The close union with the Church of Rome was felt several times over time. So much so that around 1800, the population lynched the bourgeoisie who had taken part in the Roman Republic of the Jacobins.
VEROLI
Remains of ancient routes, retaining walls, indicate that in ancient times the territory of Collepardo was chosen for its natural morphology to be crossed by an important communication route, built by the Ernici to cross the Apennines and connect their cities scattered between Lazio and Abruzzo. The choice probably fell on this area due to the presence of the important river Cosa, which was much more abundant in water at the time, so much so that it was called "Acquosa". The river Cosa (or Acquosa) has always had a significant importance in the history of the place since the times of the first human settlements on its banks in the protohistoric and Volscian era, as evidenced by the discovery, starting from the 1960s, of some nuclei of necropolises along the entire stretch of the river and remains of settlements from the 7th-6th century BC.
COLLEPARDO
The historic center is located on a hill with a characteristic cone shape, visible from a considerable distance, situated between the mountain ranges of the Ernici Mountains and the Lepini Mountains.
The village, located at 783 meters above sea level on the namesake mountain, which at its highest point reaches 793 meters above sea level, is isolated between the Sacco Valley and the basin bordered by Fiuggi and Alatri.
The municipal territory, not very extensive, is dominated by the high relief on which the inhabited center is situated. It presents mountainous and hilly features, sloping down and assuming a more regular plain-like topography as it approaches the shores of Lake Canterno, which, in part, falls within the municipal territory and is generally at an altitude of around 540 meters above sea level. The islets characterizing the southernmost part of the small lake fall within the territory of Fumone.
FUMONE
The historic city center develops on an island formed by the Liri river which, at the height of the Boncompagni - Viscogliosi castle, divides into two branches, each forming a drop of about thirty meters: the Grande (Vertical) Waterfall formed by the left branch and the Valcatoio Waterfall (or, formerly, Gualcatojo or also Cascatelle) formed by the right one.
The Grande Waterfall is about 27 meters high: one of the few waterfalls, along with that of Nepi, to be found in the historic center of a city.
The Valcatoio Waterfall is less spectacular than the first one also because its waters are regulated and diverted to power an electrical production plant. Its drop is not perfectly vertical, but follows an inclined plane of about 160 m over a height difference of about 27 m with a slope of about 17%.
ISOLA DEL LIRI
In the Ausoni Mountains center, located at an altitude of 318 m above sea level, stands with a circular layout on a saddle on the ridge formed by Mount Cimate and Mount Solo.
To the north of the town, there is a grand and intricate karst cave, the Pastena Cave, already known as San Cataldo or del Pertuso.
The municipal territory presents significant differences in altitude. Mountainous to the west, where the peaks of Mount Cappello and Mount Calvilli rise, and to the south, where Mount Schierano is located, it then takes on a hilly character in the central part, where the town of Pastena is located, and the aforementioned hill of Mount Solo, finally becoming flat in the eastern and northern parts, where the Madonna delle Macchie Plain is situated.
PASTENA
The Trisulti Charterhouse is a monastery located in the municipality of Collepardo, in the province of Frosinone, surrounded by the state-owned forest of Selva d'Ecio, at the foot of Mount Rotonaria (Ernici Mountains). The place of worship is situated at 825 meters above sea level, about six kilometers northeast of the town center. The charterhouse was recognized as a national monument by Ministerial Decree of July 17, 1879.
Since December 2014, the Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Activities has managed it through the Lazio Museum Center, which in December 2019 became the Regional Directorate of Museums.
TRISULTI
The origin of the toponym probably derives from Sub (Sub-lacense), a suffix indicating below the Lakes.[6]
Remnants of the residence of the emperor Nero have been identified, around which the center developed, consisting of a complex of buildings at different levels in a raised position on the right bank of the Aniene, near a series of artificial lakes; a significant two-story nucleus with a large apsidal niche and vast communicating rooms has been brought to light.
A large bridge-dam, connecting the two banks and serving as a barrier for the waters, called pons marmoreus, is now completely disappeared; only traces of the foundations remain.
