This stretch of dirt road offers a unique view of Mount Soratte, which resembles the cone of a volcano. From spring until early summer, the fields fill with poppies, making the landscape even more captivating.

This is one of several tunnels that characterize Mount Soratte. The others are within the bunker system. Although short, it's a good idea to carry a torch to get through it.

On the way to the top of Soratte, just before the San Silvestro hermitage, you can take the path on the left that leads to the small San Sebastiano hermitage, of which modest wall traces remain. The latter was home to hermits in the 16th and 17th centuries, after which it began to be abandoned and fell into ruin. In the rock there is a cavity used to collect water. Short trail but to be followed with care.

This hermitage has a patronal name that is truly on everyone's lips, but only a few will know the person behind it: the feast day of Saint Sylvester (San Silvestro) is December 31st. He lived at the end of the third or beginning of the fourth century and was Bishop of Rome when Emperor Constantine - later generations gave him the nickname "the Great" - recognized Christianity as a religion with the so-called "Edict of Toleration" of Milan, thus ending - at least temporarily - the period of bloody persecution of Christians.

"The Rocca di Vasciano is a fascinating medieval castle located near Stroncone, in Umbria. Built close to the mountain, the fortress has vertical external walls and without an embankment, dating back to the 13th century. Its walls, now ruined, still retain a austere and majestic appearance. The towers and walls protected the town, and some of the towers still exist with the crumbling top once disputed between Narni and Stroncone, the Rocca di Vasciano is a historical jewel that is worth a visit."
