This investigation represents the preliminary steps of a study aimed to know the specific environmental features and dynamics prior to the eruptions of the "nenfri" of the Paleovulsini complex. The physico-chemical characteristics and some horizons morphological details such as the presence of roots fingerprint, the polyhedric angular and columnar structure suggest incipient weathering and pedogenesis. Moreover, the presence of nodules and the high salinity of deep horizons suggest the incorporation of pyroclastic material into a hydromorphic environment at the time of the eruptions, putting forward the hypothesis of a paleo-marsh under an arid paleoclimate.

    O.S.M.T.J. – J.P.L.I. (Acquapendente – Montefiascone (Lago di Bolsena) – Bagnoregio – Tuscanica) ITINERARIO 2 (Acquapendente – Montefiascone (Lago di Bolsena) – Bagnoregio – Tuscanica) ##### ACQUAPENDENTE Acquapendente è un comune con 5.800 abitanti; situato a circa quindici chilometri a nord del lago di Bolsena , si trova a metà strada tra Firenze e Roma, ed è posto in prossimità della Riserva Naturale di Monte Rufeno. Il paese è situato all'estremo nord del lazio, nel punto di confluenza di tre regioni: Lazio, appunto, Toscana e Umbria. Da Acquapendente è possibile ammirare la vetta del Monte Amiata, la più alta della bassa Toscana. Il nome del paese si deve al fatto che è situato presso il fiume Paglia, con le sue numerose cascatelle. Le sue antiche origini risalgono ai Fallisci, quando si chiamava Acula, Aquila o Aquesium mentre in epoca romana divenne una ‘mansio’. Fortezza degli imperatori tedeschi degli Ottoni, [è ricordata la prima volta nel 964 come castello imperiale di Ottone I°], passò poi agli Svevi e quindi entrò a far parte del marchesato di Toscana; attraverso l’eredità di Matilde di Canossa pervenne alla Santa Sede, a cui però fu contesa dal Barbarossa, finché nel 1166 si liberò dalla soggezione imperiale. Sede dell’Abbazia del San Sepolcro, i cui frati ebbero giurisdizione nella zona, partecipò alle crociate. Tra la fine del XIV° e l’inizio del XV° appartenne per venticinque anni al Comune di Siena. Successivamente dal 1415 vi dominarono gli Sforza. Consolidata la libertà cittadina [1143] con il capitolato di Eugenio IV°, e fissato il suo jus municipale in uno statuto del tempo di Nicolò V°, la cittadina, divenuta sede di diocesi sotto il papato di Innocenzo X° dopo la distruzione di Castro [1649] restò in diretto dominio della Chiesa.

    Independent 'Self Guided' walking tour Via Francigena Bolsena - Viterbo - Roma Along the final part of the Via Francigena through the Tuscia, the land of the Etruscans - from Bolsena, past Viterbo, to Rome TRIP NOTES 2021 © Genius Loci Travel. All rights reserved. [email protected] | www.genius-loci.it ***GENIUS LOCI TRAVEL - The Real Spirit Of Italy*** Independent 'Self Guided' walking tour INTRODUCTION This is a moderately challenging tour which is suitable for experienced walkers with a good general physical condition. Through the extensive footpath network of the area, roughly following the traces of the Via Francigena, one of Europe’s most important ‘highways’ in medieval times, you walk from village to village, a full immersion in the world-famous Tuscan landscape, until arriving on the shore of Lake Bolsena, in the Etruscan heartland. This last part of the Via Francigena is perhaps the area where the intriguing history of the area comes most alive. Here, more than ‘only’ walking over a medieval pilgrim’s route you’ll walk through the heartland of the Etruscans, an ancient civilisation which flourished in this area before the rise of the Roman Empire. This area, now known as the ‘Tuscia’ area, is an area where the layers of history can all be explored: apart from the Etruscan heritage, of course the Romans left many traces here too, among which one of the best preserves amphitheatres in the ancient city of Sutri. In medieval times a number of fortresses where built in several places, while during the Renaissance Popes and other wealthy families from Rome built their villa’s here, often surrounded by superbly landscaped parks.

  • The Holy See
    The Holy See PASTORAL VISIT TO VITERBO AND BAGNOREGIO BENEDICT XVI ANGELUS Valle Faul - Viterbo Sunday, 6 September 2009 [Video] Dear Brothers and Sisters, At the end of this solemn Eucharistic Celebration, I once again thank the Lord for having given me the joy of making this Pastoral Visit to your diocesan community. I have come to encourage you and to strengthen you in your fidelity to Christ, as the theme you have chosen clearly shows: "Strengthen your brethren" (Lk 22: 31). Jesus addressed these words to the Apostle Peter during the Last Supper, entrusting to him the task of being Pastor of his whole Church here on earth. Your Diocese has been distinguished for many centuries by a unique bond of affection and communion with the Successor of Peter. I was was able to see this when I visited the Palace of the Popes, and in particular, the Conclave Hall. St Leo the Great was born in the vast territory of ancient Tuscia. He rendered a great service to the truth in charity by diligently preaching the word, as his Sermons and his Letters testify. Pope Sabinian, the Successor of Gregory the Great was born in Blera; Paul III was born in Canino. The Roman Pontiffs chose Viterbo for their residence during the whole of the second part of the 13th century. Five of my Predecessors were elected here and four of them are buried here. At least 50 visited the city the last of whom was the Servant of God John Paul II, 25 years ago. These figures have historical significance, but above all I would like to here emphasize their spiritual value.
