This museum has many Roman artefacts and a lot of stone retrieved from the Roman town that became modern Amelia but the principal exhibit is a life size bronze statue of Germanicus. This lay buried (and therefore squashed) until 1963 but sufficiently intact to allow reconstrucion of virtually the whole thing. Those pieces that won't fit are displayed separately. How it has escaped being hauled off to at least a provinvial if not national museum seems incredible - it really has to be seen to be believed. A short film (available in English) explains the full history, both of the man and the statue. We were in the museum for well over an hour and saw no other visitors - early September so outside school holidays but this does deserve to be better known.

Both my children baptized here. Incredible view over the "infernaccio valley" to Monte Soratte. Only 3 friars left.

The trek up the hill is worth making for two reasons: this stunning tower which was built in large parts from bits and pieces collected from old Roman buildings. Then there is the view from in front of the neighboring church! Grab a sandwich and have lunch in paradise!
