Fragments of history

A path that can give strong and contrasting emotions, with the sea always present and a hilly hinterland, sometimes harsh but always surprising. The villages enchant by their slowness of life and unavoidable views of the sea, while the products of food and wine are the fruits of the earth and daily hard work.

On the way back, the road returns to the coastline, where the sea and the thick coastal vegetation of Mount Scauri are a truly unique sight. At the end a nice and relaxing ride on the promenade and the road that runs along the last stretch of the “Liris” where you can still experience the emotions of more recent history with a visit to the Bourbon Bridge.

Minturno
to be seen

It is the first suspended bridge on iron catenaries in continental Europe, built between 1828 and 1832. It was designed by the engineer Luigi Giura to provide a direct crossing of the river and allow a connection to the site of the Roman city of Minturnae, where the Bourbons had begun archaeological investigations in the late 18th century. The bridge was a silent witness to the unification of Italy under the first Savoy domain, then to the hard battles along the Gustav Line at the end of the Second World War with its destruction on 14 October 1943. It was restored in 1998 with a project resulting from a strong popular impulse.
