Sorano is an ancient medieval village carved into the tuff, located in the heart of the hilly Maremma. The inhabited center is dominated by the imposing Fortezza Orsini, an example of Renaissance military architecture, and by the Masso Leopoldino, a natural fortified terrace offering a panoramic view of the entire Lente river valley. The village is characterized by a dense network of narrow alleys, stairways, and passages carved directly into the rock. Outside the inhabited area lies the archaeological park of the Vie Cave, a network of deep Etruscan paths carved into the tuff that connect the center with the surrounding necropolises.

Located in the heart of the village of Marta, on the southern shore of Lake Bolsena, the Clock Tower is one of the main historical and tourist attractions of the area. This medieval tower, which stands majestically in the historic center, is not only a symbol of the city, but also a witness to centuries of history, art and local traditions. The Clock Tower stands imposingly at 21 meters high. Its structure is characterized by a truncated pyramid base with a square plan and an octagonal body that culminates with a small octagonal tower about 2.5 meters high, where the clock bells are located. This clock, installed in 1575 during the Farnese domination, is one of the distinctive elements of the tower. Originally, the tower was part of the Rocca, a medieval fortification that has seen numerous restorations and alterations due to the turbulent historical events of the village. The tower has survived various modifications and reconstructions, and today represents one of the most fascinating testimonies of Marta's past. (c) https://www.visittuscia.eu/torre-orologio-marta/

Gravel suitable for road bikes. It's worth it, because the road then becomes a good-quality paved section along the lake. Most paved secondary roads in Italy are in significantly worse condition than this gravel.
