Nature – Sea of ​​Santa Severa

The beach of Santa Severa is located approx. 25 Km from lacastellina15 along a very scenic and traffic-free road. The beaches to the south of Pirgy Castle, which characterizes the coast making it unique on this stretch of the Tyrrhenian coast, are black as evidence of the volcanic origin of the whole area. Nearby in the direction of Rome is the Regional Natural Reserve of Macchiatonda, a protected WWF area of ​​considerable fauna.

Nature – Bracciano Lake

Lake Bracciano is a body of water of clear volcanic origin. Its circular shape, like that of Lake Marginano and Bolsena, is a logical consequence. The lake, like the whole surrounding area, is protected by the presence of the Regional Natural Park of Bracciano and Martignano which, in the area of ​​Oriolo Romano, also oversees the management of the Monte Raschio beech forest UNESCO site. The presence of beaches and the protection of water make the lake swimming and full of sustainable initiatives such as rowing boats, pedal boats and sailing boats. The use of motor boats is prohibited.

Oriolo the beech forest and the UNESCO

The ancient beech forest of Oriolo Romano, a UNESCO heritage site, is a very ancient forest that has not undergone changes for many centuries. It is a very special place, which has the peculiarity of growing just 450 meters high instead of the usual 700/900 meters. Since 2017 it is protected by the UNESCO for its global ecological value and is part of the Natural Park of Bracciano and Martignano.

Villas and Palaces – Villa Giustiniani Bassano Romano

The main entrance is in the square where the parish church also stands and consists of a massive wooden door, flanked by four peperino busts that support as many marble heads, dating back to Roman times (2nd century AD).
The walls of the courtyard inside were frescoed by fantastic scenes of triumphs, made by Antonio Tempesta.  
The patrimony contained in this palace, consisting of pieces of arms, busts, statues, furnishings and all kinds of objects belonging to a building inhabited for a long time, was transferred and concentrated in the Odescalchi Palace, in nearby Bracciano, by the same family Odescalchi.  Noteworthy is a small theater, located on the ground floor and designed in the English manner: Vincenzo Giustiniani had in fact been the summer residence of Henry VII of England.  
Inside you can see wooden boxes, first covered with drapes and useful for hosting the noble public, and a large audience which is accessed through the courtyard, reserved for all the people.

Villas and Palaces – Palazzo Farnese Caprarola

The palace was one of the many stately homes built by the Farnese in their own domains. Initially it had to have defensive characteristics as was common in the stately homes of the Lazio region between the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries.
Inside the sumptuous residence worked the best painters and architects of the time.
The “Orti Farnesiani” (with the same name of the family gardens on the Palatine Hill in Rome) are attached to the villa, a splendid example of a late-Renaissance garden, built through a system of terraces behind the house, perched on the hill from which the building is erected and connected by Vignola with the residence through bridges.
