The 40 m ascent and descent are somewhat underestimated. The altitude difference is 120 m, but with slow walking and not too hot weather, they are achievable even with less fitness.

The Park - Fonti del Clitunno, Ristorante Pizzeria, Campello Sul Clitunno A body of water with a circumference of just over 400 meters and an area of almost 10,000 square meters, this small lake is home to numerous plant species that contribute to the fame of the Fonti del Clitunno. Moss, seagrass, water horsetail, sedge, curled brosca, giant shrimp, marsh forget-me-not, and water nasturtium, also known as watercress, are just some of the plants found in the pond. Around the banks are the trees that characterize the surroundings, most notably the cypress poplar, covered in dense foliage in summer. Then there's the weeping willow, whose spread dates back to the fashion that spread this plant in Paris in the 1840s, which is said to have shaded Napoleon's tomb on Saint Helena.

Fonti del Clitunno - Ristorante Pizzeria, Campello Sul Clitunno Dream apartments, treat yourself to the relaxation you deserve. A gastronomic experience in the Parco della Poesia and a garden with tables for pampering yourself. From here, O Clitumnus, the white herds and the bull, the greatest holocaust, have repeatedly dipped into your sacred waters, bringing Roman triumphs to the temples of the gods. History Have you ever seen the Fonti del Clitunno? If not, and I don't think so, otherwise you would have told me about it, go and see. "I saw it recently and regret having done it too late." Thus wrote Pliny the Younger to a friend, and his advice still holds true today. The Fonti del Clitunno as we see them today are different from those of the first century, during Pliny's time. A violent earthquake in 444 AD changed the face of the area and was likely the cause of the narrowing of the Clitunno River, which had previously been navigable. The layout of the Clitunno springs as we see them today is thanks to the patient work of Paolo Campello della Spina, who, between 1860 and 1865, removed the earth to make room for the pond and encouraged the growth of vegetation that still characterizes the Clitunno springs today. A few years later, Giosue Carducci wrote the barbaric ode "Alle Fonti del Clitunno." Text/Source: Fonti del Clitunno - Ristorante Pizzeria, Campello Sul Clitunno https://www.fontidelclitunno.it/

December 22, 2023, Fonti del Clitunno

Sources of the Clitunno were, in Roman times, considered sacred springs, places of worship dedicated to the God Jupiter Clitunno, personification of the river of the same name, in whose name several small temples were built. In the 5th century AD a serious earthquake destroyed part of the Springs, reducing the huge original water supply. However, the Park took on its current appearance only in the second half of the nineteenth century, through the work of Count Paolo Campello della Spina, who reorganized the spaces, introduced animals into the Park and created the magical pond.

The Scoglio di Santa Rita is also known as the Scoglio di Roccaporena. 827 meters high, the "Rocca del Barone" once stood on its top, a late Roman watchtower which was later replaced with the small church which can be reached by walking along the stepped path. The church dates back to 1919: it was restored in 1941 and in 1979 it was completely rebuilt following the violent earthquake of that year.
