The hit experience of the season
Autumn is when the forests of the Roman countryside are at their most generous, and when this day is at its best. It is the countryside of Rome — not Umbria, not Tuscany — which is what makes it possible to leave the city in the morning and be walking behind the dogs a short drive later.
