Historically, boundary stones date back to Roman times; they were considered sacred and governed by specific legal norms. In modern times, they were widely used starting in the 15th century to mark borders between states, with many significant examples also between the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies and the Papal States in the 19th century, when hundreds were placed along a line separating the two states. These stones are often actual stone columns with coats of arms and numbers indicating the sequence and the state to which the border belongs. This one from 1847 features the Keys of St. Peter, symbol of the Papal States, and the Bourbon Lily, symbol of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies.

It is a small reservoir, or lake, located on the Campo Ceraso karst plateau, within the Monti Simbruini Regional Natural Park, in the upper Fioio Valley, between Monte Tarino and the Serra di San Michele. This area is characterized by a mountainous landscape with large beech forests, sinkholes, and swallow holes, typical of karst terrain. The area once marked the border between the Papal States and the Kingdom of Naples, and the ancient boundary stones can still be seen today. An unattended refuge is also located near the lake.

Descending through a beautiful beech forest from the SS Trinità parking lot, you reach the Cippi Papalini. Two centuries ago, they were the border between the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies and the Papal States, now Abruzzo and Lazio. We are also at the intersection of the three provinces of Rome, L'Aquila, and Frosinone.
