It is a very interesting route, which winds through a cool and shady forest, which alternates steep parts with rocks and some roots, sometimes pedaled up and down. Depending on the speed with which you decide to tackle it, it can be a beautiful forest path suitable for all bikes, or a mixed modern XC trail. Having reached a crossroads, just beyond the halfway point, you can choose whether to go up on the left to rejoin the Via degli Dei, or go down on the right to cross "the fairy forest" (muddy in winter), as it is usually defined, and then emerge on the aforementioned Via degli Dei further east, or continue the descent on the path known as "Il filo di Arianna". A Monte Mario classic, always interesting.

A short free-ride trail, which connects the Commenda picnic area to the Gianna path below. It is short, but intense: a breathtaking climb, which takes us to the top of a hill, is followed by a descent on a narrow and quite technical track, which ends with two possible exits on the "Gianna", one of which is quite challenging and recommended only to those who use a full-suspension bike with good travel and a telescopic seat post. If you have a "front", I strongly advise against it (choose the easiest exit, which is the second one on the left), unless you are an Olympic handler :-)

Nice descent. Short but intense. I walked it twice in one morning. 3 hours in total I think for the two climbs plus descents. Also excellent for entry level.
