Ariccia

Tucked into the Alban Hills south of Rome, Ariccia is a town whose character is shaped by the volcanic terrain of the Castelli Romani. It stands above the Vallericcia valley, part of a landscape formed by the ancient Alban volcanic complex. Ariccia’s connection with Rome reaches back to ancient Aricia, which lay on the route of the Via Appia. In the central Piazza di Corte, Palazzo Chigi and the church of Santa Maria Assunta reflect the 17th-century work of Gian Lorenzo Bernini for the Chigi family. The town is also closely associated with Porchetta di Ariccia, a seasoned roast pork with protected IGP status.
