There are a few shops in the city center and a lot of very narrow streets 🤣 If you're nearby you can drive through.

Coming from "Strada per Monterosi" you have to do a fairly technical singletrack descent

🌋 Stracciacappa Lake: Traces of a Volcanic Past In the heart of the Bracciano-Martignano Regional Natural Park, near Campagnano di Roma, lies the ancient basin of Stracciacappa Lake. Once similar to Lakes Bracciano and Martignano, this volcanic lake was drained in the 19th century by a canal. Today, its basin is cultivated and surrounded by pastures, yet it retains its charm intact. Watching over this peaceful landscape is the Stracciacappa Tower, an 11th-century medieval building that dominates the promontory. It's an unmissable vantage point for those who love cycling through history and nature.

Beautiful cycle path on the Via Francigena towards Rome. The path continues across the Cassia under hazelnut groves.

Piazza Cavour is really small and is surrounded by many beautiful buildings with simple but elegant decorations. In the center, a medium-sized fountain in peperino. It is of the so-called "spindle" model, with a structure in the middle decorated with leaves and flowers in relief on the tip and four straws that start from the mouth of a leonine figure. It is a "copy" fountain, since it is exactly the same as the ancient one from the 13th century that is in Piazza della Morte in Viterbo, the "capital" of Tuscia. In fact, this one in Sutri was built in the 1930s by the master Alfredo Maggini. Let's say that fountains of this kind, which are also found in other centers in the area, are a bit of a "brand" of belonging to the same culture. Silent and peaceful, the square-with-fountain is ideal for a good coffee break in the nearby bar.
