Print by Matteo Greuter - 1620 c.a. "Frascati in the XVII century" |
| Frascati rises on a little hill, not far from
the "Tusculum" ruins, the ancient town, destroyed by the Romans
in 1191. The survivors settled down in Frascata (modern Frascati). The
elegant villas, costellating the Tuscolani hills, were built by the élite of papal Curia, the powerful aristocratic families that loved to establish there their summer residences. |

After a little shopping at the Frascati Point (just some souverirs of the beautiful city) you can also take a walk among the streets, rich in elegant boutiques and handcraft shops, tasting a fabulous handmade ice cream (we definitely suggest zabaione flavour). You may visit Villa Aldobrandini's gardens, where every summer we have an International Music and Art Festival (The Ville Tuscolane Festival). From the hill the view of Rome is matchless. |
