23 November sees the inauguration of ‘Osa-Gabii and San Vittorino’, two of the ‘Unexpected Itineraries of Rome’, created for the enhancement, fruition, communication and promotion of itineraries outside the traditional tourist routes. The areas concerned, which also include this first itinerary, are characterised by elements of great natural and scenic importance, by archaeological sites and remains of great historical, cultural and artistic interest. Places of beauty unique in the world, but often their history is little known even by the Roman citizens who experience them on a daily basis.
The Osa-Gabii and San Vittorino itineraries are located in one of the most beautiful and interesting areas of the extreme territory of Municipality VI, on the eastern side of the great plain surrounding Rome, known as the ‘Agro Romano Antico’, a triangle of territory with a strong presence of naturalistic and historical-archaeological resources, delimited by three important consular roads (Tiburtina, Prenestina and Casilina/Labicana).
The day will include stops at points of interest with actors who will narrate the historical testimonies along the route and indicated by the information panels and the App.
Inauguration from 11.30 a.m. to 2 p.m. (last visit at 1 p.m.)
