The River Tiber – 50,000 shades of green
Possibly the greenest picture ever, we are not in a rainforest somewhere but along the River Tiber, in the Tevere Farfa Nature Reserve, just North of Rome. The photo was taken during one of the boat trips offered by the Reserve, a very leisurely way to spend an hour or two.

Roccantica
This photo was taken from the Medieval village of Roccantica. It’s one of my favourite villages in the Sabina, perched on the mountainside and surrounded by forests, it’s very well preserved and kept. Take an hour or so to get lost in its narrow streets and stairways, and every so often you’ll get a view like this one over the rooftops to the countryside spread out below!

Cantalupo from Poggio Catino
This photo was taken from the “belvedere” (viewpoint) on the main street in Poggio Catino. It’s worth a stop here on your way through the village to admire the view over the rolling hills towards Mount Cimino: olive groves, woods, valleys and many of the medieval villages of the Sabina. The main one visible in this photo is Cantalupo in Sabina.
