The Farnesiana
Nature
The Farnesiana
This is a hilly area crossed by the River Mignone and located between Tarquinia and the mountains called Monti della Tolfa, rich in fauna and vegetation. In the 16th century it became property of the Farnese family, who started there a flourishing farm in 1754. Today, a large part of the area, owned by the Università Agraria, is mainly used for cattle breeding in the wild.
Leopoli – Cencelle
It is a city which was founded by Pope Leo IV (15/08/854; Liber pontificalis), in the territory of Tarquinia near the River Mignone, to save the inhabitants of Centumcellae (today Civitavecchia) from Saracen raids. It was also an episcopal see for five centuries. Annual excavation campaigns are aimed at restoring the urban layout with buildings, churches, burials and objects.

For rock climbers, we recommend the Ripa Maiala wall. Mountain bikers and horse riders can venture out on various routes.
