| Renaissance gardens at Castello Ruspoli and Villa Lante in the Lazio countryside north of Rome. A Mannerist garden of monsters carved from bedrock at Bomarzo. Civita Castellana, dating back to the Etruscans, nestles in the undulating hills and ancient groves of Sabina, a startlingly beautiful corner of Lazio some 40 miles north of Rome. Ponte Clementino, the 18th century bridge by which the town is approached, gives spectacular, if somewhat vertiginous, views over the river valleys, gorges, cliffs, and old buildings encapsulated into the mountainous landscape surrounding the town. |
