Guadagnolo

Guadagnolo occupies a high ridge in Lazio’s Monti Prenestini. A frazione of Capranica Prenestina, it stands at roughly 1,200 metres above sea level and is widely regarded as Lazio’s highest permanently inhabited settlement. Its position in the Apennine foothills east of Rome gives the place a markedly cooler, more exposed character than the lowlands. Beech woodland and limestone terrain shape the surrounding mountain country, where routes lead across ridges and slopes rather than through an urban centre. Nearby, the Sanctuary of Mentorella has long been a Catholic pilgrimage site, adding a religious landmark to this small highland community.
