Clivo di Scauro

Highlight • Historical Site

The archaeological area is today located exactly below the ancient Basilica of Saints John and Paul and is accessed from one of the most evocative streets in all of Rome, the Clivo di Scauro. The street has in fact kept all its ancient charm practically intact: a short street once entirely covered by arcades and overlooked, on both sides, by a series of high insulae, the multi-storey buildings typical of the antiquity, with shops on the ground floor. As soon as you cross the entrance to the Roman Houses, you will find yourself exactly inside some of these ancient shops, also equipped with a back room used as a practical warehouse in which to store goods.

Porta San Sebastiano

Highlight • Historical Site

Porta San Sebastiano is the largest of the gates in the defensive walls of the Aurelian Walls of Rome, as well as one of the best preserved. The original name was Porta Appia because the Via Appia emerged from it, while the current name derives from the proximity to the basilica and the catacombs of San Sebastiano.

Aniene Valley Park

Highlight (Segment) • Forest

Nice dirt road segment that goes from Ponte Nomentano to Ponte Mammolo. Some technical features, some illegal landfills but certainly a scenic place due to its position within Rome. In the park you can find dogs, some camps and shepherds with their flock as it is a piece of Roman countryside in the middle of the city. Suitable for gravel and mtb bikes.

This is the place where Ugo Forno known as “Ughetto” was killed while saving the railway bridge from the attempt of the Germans who, in retreat, tried to blow it up. It was June 5, 1944, and Ughetto was only twelve years old!

Villa Borghese

Highlight • Monument

Villa Borghese is the third largest public park (80 hectares) in the city of Rome after Villa Doria Pamphilj and Villa Ada. It houses numerous buildings, museums and attractions including the Bioparco di Roma. Cardinal Scipione Borghese used it as a suburban villa, a festive villa and to house his art collection (it was in fact he who initially constituted the rich Borghese collection, now on display in the Borghese Gallery inside the Villa Borghese Pinciana). The gardens as they are today were redone in the early 19th century.

Mouth of Truth

Highlight • Monument

The legendary sculpture of the Mouth of Truth is of enormous dimensions. With a diameter of 1.75 meters, it is dedicated to the God of the Sea represented by a bearded male face, with pierced eyes, nose and mouth.
A husband who distrusted his wife took her to the Mouth of Truth to check her fidelity. The woman reacted by feigning fainting and her lover picked her up in his arms. After this, the woman swore before the Mouth of Truth that she had only been in the arms of her husband and the man who had just picked her up.
This is just one of the many legends that exist about the famous sculpture that, over the years, continues to generate enormous expectation.

In 1878 the Italian Parliament decided to dedicate a national monument to the recently deceased sovereign Vittorio Emanuele II.
After two international competitions (1880 and 1882), the project presented by Giuseppe Sacconi was chosen. The young architect from the Marche region, following the model of the great sanctuaries of the classical era, had conceived the space as a scenic representation celebrating the Italian Risorgimento in the center of imperial Rome.

The architectural structure of the monument was developed as an ideal ascending path that, through the stairs and terraces, enriched by the various sculptural groups and bas-reliefs of the central Altar of the Homeland, would rise to the side temples and from these to the grandiose crowned columned portico. by bronze chariots, allegories of the Unity of the Homeland and Freedom.

June 26, 2025,Giro "GRAB-GRAVEL" da Appio Latino 🐺🏟🚲🇮🇹
Wonderful training ride in anticipation of my departure for the Periplo della Sardegna alone. Almost entirely gravel this outing in the beautiful "Eternal City", my city ♥️
The return on a section of the Tiber cycle path, showed me a Tiber so "low", never seen before with so many baby seagulls.
A powerful heat🌞 but the satisfaction was greater‼️🚲😀

Route defined on bikeitalia and on Komoot but without any markings. Some work zones are preventing it from taking place, in particular the long part on the bank of the Tiber, which is inaccessible. The merit of this route is to connect the green lungs of the city, but apart from that, it is not of great interest.

An extraordinary journey to discover an unexpected Rome. The route starts and arrives at Ponte Milvio and crosses the most important parks of the city along the Tiber and Aniene rivers, using both asphalted and dirt cycle paths. The first stretch of the Tiber cycle path is followed and then headed towards Villa Borghese, the Zoo, Piazza Hungary (Parioli). Continue …

Rome's tourist attractions are completely overrun with people; cycling is impossible. There's dirt everywhere, and the steps down to the Tiber reek of urine. You have to carry your bike up and down the stairs. Bike paths are practically nonexistent; they simply end abruptly, for example, you might find yourself facing a locked gate. GRAB is not recommended. We were …
