The area surrounding Fiano Romano is a true treasure trove of history, nature, and traditions. The Ducal Castle of Orsini, the centerpiece of the village, stands out with its imposing 15th-century Renaissance structure, now serving as a venue for cultural events and temporary exhibitions. Just a short walk away is the Church of Santo Stefano Protomartire, also dating back to the 15th century, which houses sacred artworks, including valuable paintings attributed to the school of Pinturicchio.

Not far away lies the archaeological site of Lucus Feroniae, an ancient Roman city with well-preserved remains, including the forum, the temple, and the impressive Villa of the Volusii, a senatorial residence adorned with exquisite mosaic floors.

This area is also perfect for those seeking peaceful moments in nature. The Nazzano Tevere-Farfa Nature Reserve offers stunning river landscapes, ideal for walking, boat trips, and birdwatching. Mount Soratte stands solo on the horizon, featuring scenic trails and the Hermitage of San Silvestro that provides breathtaking views of the Lazio countryside.

In the vicinity, you can find authentic villages like Capena, home to the site of Lucus Feroniae; Nazzano, overlooking the river and serving as an entrance to the reserve; and Sant’Oreste, nestled at the foot of Mount Soratte, known for its intriguing World War II bunker.

Completing the experience are numerous farms where visitors can taste local wines and extra virgin olive oil, as well as traditional events and festivals that enliven the surrounding towns, such as the Feast of Our Lady of Sorrows. It’s a journey through history, flavors, and landscapes that are sure to move you.
