A trip to the Rieti region between history and nature

An itinerary through history, nature and tradition. We start in Rieti, in the centre of Italy, a town immersed in nature and surrounded by the beauty of the Laghi Lungo e Ripasottile Nature Reserve. Then on to the small medieval village of Cantalice, on the slopes of Mount Terminillo. With the help of a local guide, we discover the Sorgenti di Santa Susanna, part of the Nature Reserve. Not far away, we come across the village of Poggio Bustone, birthplace of one of Italy’s greatest singer-songwriters, Lucio Battisti. But this village also houses the sanctuary founded by St Francis. On the western slopes of Terminillo, the journey continues to discover the medieval village of Rivodutri, a place where the Saint passed through, where the story of the beech tree and the donkey is told. Returning towards Rieti we visit two true excellences of the territory: Fonte Cottorella and Torrefazione Faraglia.
