A land green, healthy and skilled labor galore
The deep green of oak woods and mountains with rounded shapes, the colors of the fields, vineyards, the olive groves that cover the hills, the mountain villages: "Sabina Tiberina, Sabine area of \u200b\u200bLazio paid to the Tiber Valley, offers a hilly landscape of rare beauty, the most striking and characteristic of central Italy. Heart of much wider sub-region historic Sabine, the slope of the Monti Sabini Tiber, with its vast ramifications hilly, scenic and cultural elements kept entirely their own. Sabina is the true characteristics of olive cultivation, which strongly characterizes the landscape and has kept its traditional importance in the local economy, with the production of extra virgin olive oil of high quality and long recognized by the DOP.
Nature, history and art in harmony
Monti Sabini I have a very rich environment: the number of karst phenomena, among which the huge chasm of Revotano, which opens near the pretty village of Roccantica. Further south, in a transition area between the Sabine Mountains and Lucretili, behind Mirteto Poggio, expands the wide and picturesque Valley of Farfa, whose focus has been for centuries the famous Abbey of Farfa, one of the symbols of European monasticism and a bulwark of Christian civilization, as well as powerful outpost of the Church in feudal times: a combination of ancient and legendary home, which already existed at the time of Charlemagne preserves literary and artistic works of inestimable value. Remarkable, indeed, the historical, artistic and religious Sabina Tiberina, which conceals the Sabine-Roman archaeological sites (Eretum, Cures), castles, monasteries, convents and monasteries (in addition to Farfa, the venerable cathedral of Santa Maria in Vescovio, from Torri in Sabina), and many small town centers, perhaps poor in terms of monuments but well integrated into the surrounding agricultural landscape. Very pleasant to visit these villages, almost always well maintained, to savor the atmosphere of the times: Casper (orange flag of the TCI), Bocchignano, Catino, Montasola, Tarano, Montebuono, or the same Fianello Roccantica are only a few of the forming this wonderful journey to discover the medieval Sabine.
A "landscape of medieval
The streets of the Sabina Tiberina are a succession of picturesque views of the medieval in some places make traveling in this area similar to wander in a fresco of the Middle Ages. Feeling that perhaps reaches its climax when we come to the tiny village of semispopolato Rocchette (Torri in Sabina), one of the most picturesque villages in the area: the face is the hill where is the "ghost town" of Rocchettine, topped by the ruins a mighty fortress, only around forests, fields, olive groves and an almost total silence, if not were not for the haunting sound of the waters of a stream. Going deeper in the valley, the landscape, now dominated by the mass closely solemn and solitary of the mythical Mount Soratte, is tinged distinctly Umbria, with rows of cypress trees to decorate the white dirt roads that climb the hills, crowned with old farmhouses their pine: the area of \u200b\u200bFlints, Collevecchio and Magliano Sabina, where, in view of the Tiber, and the boundaries between Reatino Ternano become increasingly blurred.
