Seventy hectares of oak trees, meadows, a thick extension of impassable spots, 200 species of mammals and wild birds, some toward extinction, a rich collection of vegetable species that roves from the tropical species to the boreal ones.
We are not talking about a wild land at the frontiers of the inhabited world, but of a hilly region of volcanic origin at the door of Rome, miraculously escaped from the siege of buildings and roads, thanks to its inhospitable territory and particular nature of its land. Large estates, one time properties of marquis and princes, now managed by the towns of Tolfa, Allumiere, Manziana, Cerveteri, are devoted today, like many centuries ago, to the cutting of trees, to the breeding of wild horses and maremma cattle with their beautiful horns and irascible nature.
In these deep and hostile canyons, the Etruscans built their necropolis. Visiting those ones of recent discovery, that are still deeply immersed into the woods, it feels like that two millennium had never passed.
Ready to becoming a natural park, undoubtedly one of the most important in Italy for its treasures, the hills of Tolfa will continue to preserve for many centuries ahead its wild and unforgettable beauty.
