A perfect location for the artist in Italy.
"Sabina" is fifty kilometres northeast of Rome, following the
eastern bank of the Tiber River and the Sabine Hills, lays the
territory of Sabina. Its landscape of gentle hills where
agriculture is in perfect harmony with the surrounding nature,
it is scattered with Roman villas, medieval castles, churches
and abbeys. Untouched by mass tourism, undisturbed by the
historical events of recent centuries, this territory is still
authentic and unspoilt, and offers the artist
opportunities not found in other parts of Italy. The ancient
traditions of Sabina, entwined with religion and agriculture,
can still be experienced during the many local fairs, which are
held frequently throughout the seasons. From early spring, to
late autumn, medieval villages are filled with a festive
atmosphere, culminating with beautiful fireworks. You can't miss
these events if you want to taste the local gastronomic
specialities. These are country style dishes, made with the
area's first class agricultural products. Extra virgin olive oil
from Sabina, with its DOP recognition, is the absolute
ingredient in this cuisine; the olive tree has been a constant
element of the Sabine landscape since the times of ancient Rome.
Riding schools, public swimming pools all immersed in the green
countryside, golf courses, natural bolted cliffs for free
climbing, along with Mount Terminillo ski resorts and several
naturalistic itineraries, are some of the possibilities for
sports lovers in an uncontaminated natural environment. The
Reatine Valley, with its Franciscan sanctuaries, Farfa Abbey,
for centuries a witness to the power of the Roman Church, the
Romanesque churches of Vescovio and Santa Vittoria, the
archaeological sites and ancient Roman town of Trebula Mutuesca
and Forum Novum as well as, the national parks, and the capital
city Rieti are among the many attractions in Sabina. From here,
along pleasant country roads, you can easily reach the lakes of
Bracciano and Bolsena, and within one hour's drive, some of the
most important artistic sights of central Italy, such as
Spoleto, Orvieto and Assisi. At just fifty kilometres from Rome,
this territory lays untouched by mass tourism: Its landscape of
gentle hills, where nature is intact, is scattered with roman
villas, medieval villages and castles and abbeys. Quality
hospitality is available in vacation resorts: old rural homes,
villas and palaces in the medieval villages of the Sabina. In
the rural paradise of Sabina you will find quality accommodation
in charming and characteristic locations. Creating s a perfect
source of inspiration for any artist whether a beginner or those
more experienced.
