Artena è un borgo a breve distanza da Roma e sorge sui Monti Lepini. Il suo centro storico, arroccato lungo un costone calcareo all'estremità meridionale dei Castelli Romani, è uno dei meglio conservati del Lazio. I suoi vicoli stretti, rampe e bellezze architettoniche rendono questo paesino incantevole. Storicamente l'area ha origini preromane, come testimoniano le mura poligonali costruite, molto probabilmente, dai Volsci sei mesi prima di Cristo. Distrutta dai Romani nel 404 C.C. rivide la luce poi nel Medioevo con il nome di Montefortino, come castello fortificato. In seguito entrò a far parte del patrimonio ecclesiastico della Santa Sede, che quindi aveva il compito di proteggere il suo territorio. Il feudo nel 1557 fu incendiato e distrutto completamente per volere di Papa Paolo IV, nemico dei Colonna, in quel momento famiglia di spicco di Montefortino. Dopo lo spargimento di sangue i suoi abitanti fuggirono sul pendio scosceso e costruirono il paese che possiamo ammirare oggi. Nel 1600 arrivò la famiglia Borghese che fece costruire un palazzo, piazze, ostelli, archi e molte altre bellezze architettoniche. Nel 1873 il nome cambiò in Artena.

Beautiful places with history and culture, you eat well and the people are sociable and nice.
In my opinion the only flaw is that it is in Lazio, a beautiful and geographically privileged region has everything from the sea to the mountains passing through fertile and romantic countryside but managed by the various governors very badly. Sin as a Roman and especially a lover of Lazio I regret it.
The photo makes good the picturesque Artena.
Greetings, Luigi.

Thanks Luigi! Sometimes I try not to expect anything from others and try to see if I can do something for others. I try, but I don't always combine something good, but I keep trying ;-)
Thanks Nicola! Artena is definitely worth a visit, it does not take so long to do so. Indeed you make me think that at the time I wanted to make a blog with illustrations to share all the beauties, which are common heritage!
Best regards Friends :-P
