Montelibretti and Nerola

Today we visited the nearby towns of Montelibretti and Nerola in the Sabina region. Sabina is famous for olive oil (Olio di Sabina) and indeed the countryside was covered with olive trees. Monterotondo, where I’m living, is actually the first town of Sabina (and the first town outside the city of Rome).

Montelibretti was another old medieval walled city. This city was more alive than the lakeside ones we visited. Those seem to only be summer homes at this point. All the young people have moved closer to Rome. Montelibretti, on the other hand had kids playing soccer in the main square and cars parked in every little corner. The old wall was being repaired and you could see the before and after. Pic.

We raced to Nerola just before the sun set. We mostly came here because there is a castle, and I love that. It’s a hotel now but we couldn’t go inside. One thing we noticed here was an area all the residents are supposed to collect in case of disaster. In these ancient hill towns, avalanche is a major concern. If there was an earthquake, all the old stone houses on top of this hill would come crumbling down.
