We experienced the most beautiful wine tasting at the castle. Not only the winery have breath taking views but also offer special tours with wonderful wine testings. However, we had shipped 5 bottles of wine with one gallon of olive oil at the winery a month ago, but we still haven’t receive yet..hopefully soon. Highly recommend to visit!

Very nice village, beautiful view. The suggestive castle has its charm, but a little too abandoned to itself, it would be enough to cut the weeds and the road to enter it, because you have to be a little Indiana Jones to find the entrance, too bad

Castle now in ruins. Very beautiful but unfortunately only some remains can make us imagine its beauty of other times. The village is very nice and well kept. Very open and suggestive panorama

Unfortunately abandoned to itself, and officially it is definitely closed, but it is a wonderful structure. A disaster to see it unused and destined to collapse.

Salendo per tutte le vie del borgo, che è molto bello, si arriva fino al Castello che un tempo era una fortificazione difensiva. Peccato che ormai sia in condizioni pessime. Siamo però riusciti a salire fino in cima, perché l'erba era tagliata. Bellissimo il panorama!

Santa Maria in Trastevere

The Basilica of Santa Maria in Trastevere is one of the oldest churches of Rome. The basic floor plan and wall structure of the church date back to the 340s, and much of the structure to 1140-43. The first sanctuary was built in 221 and 227 by Pope Callixtus I and later completed by Pope Julius I. 

The inscription on the episcopal throne states that this is the first church in Rome dedicated to Mary, mother of Jesus, although some claim that privilege belongs to the Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore. A Christian house-church was founded here about 220 by Pope Saint Callixtus I (217-222) on the site of the Taberna meritoria, a refuge for retired soldiers. The area was made available for Christian use by Emperor Alexander Severus when he settled a dispute between the Christians and tavern-keepers.

The church underwent two restorations in the fifth and eighth centuries and in 1140-43 it was re-erected on its old foundations under Pope Innocent II.
