Tips from the Community

Martina T.🎈
January 31, 2026, Anfiteatro di Marruvium

The Marruvium Amphitheater represents one of the most significant archaeological testimonies of Roman power in the Marsi territory. Built around the 2nd century AD, the structure still retains parts of its imposing opus reticulatum walls and the elliptical shape of the original arena. Although it was partially stripped of its materials for other constructions in the past, it remains a fundamental symbol of the ancient Marruvian capital, once capable of hosting thousands of spectators for gladiatorial games.

The Collarmele Wind Farm is a fascinating, cutting-edge facility located on the Forca Caruso pass, in the heart of the Sirente-Velino Regional Park, where its gigantic white blades create an almost futuristic profile amidst the mountains. One of Italy's most important wind farms, this site offers a unique visual experience where the invisible force of the wind is transformed into clean energy, while also providing a privileged vantage point that encompasses the entire Fucino plateau and the rugged ridges of the central Apennines.
