Castel Giubileo (zone Of Rome)
Castel Giubileo is the second Zone of Rome in the Ager Romanus, identified as Z. II. History The history of the current Castel Giubileo dates back directly to the ancient city of ''Fidenae'' which, based on archaeological evidence, was built around the 11th century BC in an extremely important strategic position between Via Salaria and Via Nomentana. From here, it dominated the commercial routes between Etruria, Sabina and southern Italy, as well as the navigable stretch of the Tiber, where the commercial traffic took place. The settlement, surrounded by walls, extended its control also to the area of Monte Sacro and was flourishing – above all in consideration of the fertility of the soil (due to the proximity to the river and the presence of volcanic debris or Tuffs) – even before the foundation of Rome. In 1280 the area belonged to the monastery of St. Cyriacus. Later, the castle (''castrum'') was purchased by Pope Boniface VIII, maybe with the proceeds from the 1300 ...

Monte Sacro (quarter)
Monte Sacro is the 16th ''quartiere'' of the city of Rome in Italy. As a quarter, or second level administrative division, it is one of two that comprise the first level division of Municipio III. Monte Sacro takes its name from the namesake Monte Sacro hill. History Following the fall of the Roman Empire, the area became significantly depopulated, and ancient patrician villas were later replaced by medieval farmsteads. However, the zone was constantly controlled, as the Ponte Nomentano bridge was a relevant outpost and an important crossing point toward the northern Latium. Traditionally, Ponte Nomentano is considered the place where Pope Leo III met Charlemagne in 800. Because of the distance from the city, the territory became a place for jaunts and trips to the countryside, up to the beginning of the 19th century. According to the tradition, it was during a trip in Monte Sacro countryside in 1805 that Simon Bolivar took the oath to free the Latin American people, after hi ...

Aniene
The Aniene (; la, Aniō), formerly known as the Teverone, is a river in Lazio, Italy. It originates in the Apennines at Trevi nel Lazio and flows westward past Subiaco, Vicovaro, and Tivoli to join the Tiber in northern Rome. It formed the principal valley east of ancient Rome and became an important water source as the city's population expanded. The falls at Tivoli were noted for their beauty. Historic bridges across the river include the Ponte Nomentano, Ponte Mammolo, Ponte Salario, and Ponte di San Francesco, all of which were originally fortified with towers. Name It was known to the Romans as ''Aniō''; this is of unknown etymology, but Francisco Villar Liebana has suggested a root *''an''- that is found in many river names, such as the Ana (Guadiana) and Anisus ( Enns). Plutarch derived the name from a mythical Etruscan king Anius who drowned in the river.

Marcigliana Nature Reserve (Rome)
Magliocco Dolce (also known as Marsigliana ) is a red Italian wine grape variety that is grown mostly in the Calabria region of southern Italy. In agricultural census counts, plantings of Magliocco Dolce are often grouped with the related, but distinct, red grape variety Magliocco Canino. Throughout history, numerous red southern Italian wine grape varieties have been variously known under the synonyms of "Magliocco" or "Magliocchi", most notably Gaglioppo, but recent DNA analysis has shown those grapes to be unrelated to Magliocco Dolce or Magliocco Canino.J. Robinson, J. Harding and J. Vouillamoz ''Wine Grapes - A complete guide to 1,368 vine varieties, including their origins and flavours'' pgs 564-565 Allen Lane 2012 History The first mention of a "Magliocca" grape dates to the late 15th century when it was documented growing in the Calabria region. However, which "Magliocco" grape this was is not yet known. Ampelographers have speculated that since the name ''Magliocco'' mea ...
