The Suburbs of Rome in the county represent its complement due to multiple aspects. The Spirituality, Villas and Castles, Land and Water, Parks and Natural Reserves, Archaelogy and, of course, Food & Wine. The Outskirts of Rome are amazing and you will have the nicest unexpected surprise by touring with me in these area. There was a time in which, near Rome, the Romans were not even in the caves and other civilizations were already leaving their footsteps: Latins, Sabins, Volsci and above all, the Etruscan Civilization.

The Sanctuary of Fortuna Primigenia (IInd Cent. B.C.). - The city was a major cultual centre of for the worship of the goddess Fortuna Primigenia. Here, the Sanctuary and temple oracle were surrounded by an immense complex of buildings rising up the hillside like a pyramid of terraces, visible even from the sea-coast. The cult was flourishing by 120 B.C and its flames and torches could be seen until Anzio Beach, over 20 miles (30 KM) distant.
