The Bell Tower of the Tempio di San Francesco al Terminillo
The Tempio di San Francesco al Terminillo
The bell tower of the Tempio di San Francesco al Terminillo unexpectedly emerges from the autumnal blanket, at an altitude of 1623 meters, whispering messages of peace in the wind which blows over Pian de’ Valli in Rieti.. Like an oyster, it preserves one of the largest mosaics in the world.

The Neo-Gothic Mausoleum in the Bosco del Sasseto
The Marquis Cahen’s Neo-Gothic Mausoleum in the Bosco del Sasseto
Walking on the crunching leaves through the Bosco del Sasseto, you will come across the Marquis Cahen’s Neo-Gothic Mausoleum. The twisted branches and the velvety moss-covered boulders enchanted the Marquis so much, that he chose this “Snow White Forest” at the foot of the Torre Alfina Castle in Acquapendente as his final resting place.

The Temple of Jupiter Anxur
The windy arches of the Temple of Jupiter Anxur open onto Monte Sant’Angelo in the “Parco Ausoni e Lago di Fondi”, wonderfully overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea. In Terracina, Jupiter as a Child protects the large sacred area stripped by autumn, which opens wide onto the sea of the Sorceress Circe.
The Laghetto di San Benedetto in Subiaco
The Laghetto di San Benedetto
The Laghetto di San Benedetto in Subiaco, at the foot of the Simbruini Mountains, is considered the Caribbean Paradise of Rome. Here, the Aniene River forms a waterfall that flows into the small lake. The sun creates rainbows on the water surface, which reflects the autumn shades of the surrounding nature.
