An underground watercourse flows along the Strada degli Orti. It is one of the historic canals derived from the Aniene River, known as “underground canals” or “orchard canals”. These canals were built since Roman times to exploit the waters of the Aniene both for agricultural uses and to power the city’s mills and factories. Over the centuries, the system of underground canals has been fundamental for the irrigation of vegetable gardens and the functioning of local production activities. The canal that can still be seen flowing along Via degli Orti today is a testimony to this ancient hydraulic network. There were five main underground canals in the city: Spada, Casacotta, Forma, Brizio and D’Este. The management of the water was entrusted to corporations of millers, blacksmiths and market gardeners. These canals, after having traveled through the city’s subsoil, returned the water to the Aniene through waterfalls and jumps of varying heights. So, the river that passes underground in Via degli Orti is a canalised branch of the Aniene river, part of an ingenious hydraulic system that has characterised the history of Tivoli since ancient times.

GREGORY XVI SUPREME PONTIFF To the most provident prince, since on the ninth of October 1834, in his presence, it was foreseen that from here, with his presence, the excavated canal, which for many years had threatened the city with numerous floods, would be diverted from its waters into the new excavated riverbed, thus forcing the river to flow elsewhere, with a great turnout of citizens and foreigners, amid the applause and acclamations of all, in memory of that very happy day, the Tiburtini, very grateful, on the farm of the Maxima family, placed (this plaque). This inscription celebrates a hydraulic intervention carried out during the pontificate of Gregory XVI (1834), which solved a problem of flooding in the city (Tivoli), with great gratitude from the local citizens.
