💦 Marmore Falls (Cascata delle Marmore 🇮🇹) is one of Italy’s most impressive waterfalls, located near Terni in Umbria. At 165 meters (541 feet), it's one of Europe’s tallest artificial waterfalls, with roots dating back to Roman times.

The flow is regulated through sluices, with water volume increased at certain times for a spectacular display!

The falls are divided into three levels, offering stunning views from multiple paths.

Useful tips:
🎟️ Buy tickets in advance to avoid long queues
⛰️ Path 1 is challenging (lots of stairs)
👟 Wear comfortable, non-slip shoes
🐕 Dogs welcome (on a leash and with a muzzle)
👶 Kid-friendly paths: 2 & 3

Today, on Giornata dei Migranti (International Migrants Day), we honor the powerful stories of migration, often a forced and challenging journey, that connect the past and present.

Italy’s history is deeply tied to the journeys of millions who left in search of a better future, shaping communities across the globe.

We’ve recently begun a journey to better understand roots tourism, a form of travel inspired by the growing desire to reconnect with one’s heritage. It’s a meaningful experience for emigrants and second or third-generation descendants who return, or visit for the first time, a place deeply connected to their identity.

Migration is more than a journey; it’s a story of identity, heritage, and belonging. Today, we reflect on the shared experiences that unite us across borders and generations, celebrating the resilience of those who leave their homes to build a new life while keeping their roots alive❤

✨The "Mercati di Traiano" in Rome, is an extensive complex of brick buildings dating back to Emperor Trajan's era, situated near the Trajan Forum. This multi-level structure housed shops, offices, and apartments, all arranged along a grand semicircular facade, serving both commercial and administrative purposes.

The Markets of Trajan today house the Museum of the Imperial Fora, part of Rome's civic museum network. The museum displays the ancient architecture and decorations of the Imperial Fora, featuring reconstructions using original fragments, casts, and modular stone. These are designed to restore their original three-dimensional form and showcase the splendor of imperial propaganda.

🔸The museum offers free admission every first Sunday of each month as part of the "Domenica al museo" initiative.

🇬🇧 Did you know that it's possible to go horseback riding 🐎🐎 along the beautiful Appian Way in Rome? This important historic road, known in Italian as Via Appia Antica, offers a picturesque route for horseback riding enthusiasts.

🌳🌿The ancient Appian Way was built by the censor Appius Claudius Caecus in 312 B.C. who conceived it as a kind of ancient highway, consisting of long straight stretches to shorten travel times, as an alternative to the more inland Via Latina. Starting from Porta Capena in the area of Circo Massimo in Rome to Capua and Brindisi port later, it became the most important road for trade and travel throughout the Mediterranean.

The Appian Way was 530 km long, which a horseback traveler could typically cover in a couple of weeks or more. Incredible, isn't it?
