Posta Fibreno (FR) - The Nature Reserve

2015

The Lago di Posta Fibreno regional nature reserve is one of the regional nature reserves established by the Lazio Region and managed in collaboration with the municipal administration of Posta Fibreno. It is famous for hiding a real floating island in the vegetation of the reeds, already mentioned by Pliny the Elder in his Naturalis historia. It was established in 1983. Managed in collaboration with the WWF until 1999, it is currently administered by the Lazio Region and the Municipality of Posta Fibreno which regulates the recruitment of personnel and the management of the budget. It extends for about 400 hectares completely within the limits of the municipal territory of Posta Fibreno, located on the Lazio side of the National Park of Abruzzo, Lazio and Molise in the Province of Frosinone and includes the surface of the homonymous lake (about 300 m asl), the southern and eastern shores, the banks of the Rio Carpello and part of the hilly area (max 500 meters above sea level) between the localities of Carpello and Vallone della Pica on the border with the municipalities of Campoli Appennino and Broccostella. The naturalization of the territory occupies an increasingly large area but the western shore of the lake is very urbanized due to the development of ancient rural settlements and a weak tourist reception activity (mainly catering). The hamlet of Casalvittoria grows to the south, joining the historic center of Posta Fibreno with the former Vandra state road and the Avezzano-Sora-Cassino highway.

Rome. The Trevi Fountain

The Trevi Fountain is the largest of the famous fountains in Rome. Built on the facade of Palazzo Poli by Nicola Salvi, the competition announced by Pope Clement XII in 1731 had initially been won by the French sculptor Lambert-Sigisbert Adam but subsequently the assignment passed to Salvi: it is said that the change was due to the fact that the pontiff did not want to entrust the work to a foreigner, however another version explains that Adam had to return to France. Begun in 1732, it was finally entrusted in 1759 to Pietro Bracci helped by his son Virginio. The two completed the work, which was inaugurated in 1762.

Anagni. The Cathedral Basilica of S. Maria Annunziata

Anagni Cathedral stands on the summit of the acropolis and is the result of several construction phases. The Romanesque style (1072-1104) was joined by the Gothic style around the mid-13th century. On one of the exterior walls is a statue of Pope Boniface VIII. In 1160, Alexander III pronounced the excommunication of Barbarossa here, and Pope Innocent IV was elected here. The interior is predominantly Gothic, and retains a Cosmatesque-style floor and the Caetani Chapel with a large tomb. The crypt contains a cycle of frescoes (1104-1255) depicting scenes from the Old and New Testaments. The cathedral also houses the reliquary of Saint Thomas Becket.
