Farfa

Impressing is a visit of the abbey of Farfa in Sabina. This old Benedictine monastery had big power in it's golden age and has been founded probably in the sixth century. Still today monks and nuns are living there (not together of course).
You can visit the abbey, the cathedral and the medioeval houses around where you can buy traditional artwork etc.

If you need to cool down after the cultural visits you can go to a place at a river nearby where Italian families like to have a picnic in the hot months. Put your feet into the cool water and have a siesta in the shadow, or walk a little along the river bed.
