150 years ago, in this agricultural town of Tarquinia, which lies within 20 minutes from the port of Rome, farmers unearthed the first hidden treasures of Rome's Etruscan heritage. Burial sanctuaries, Italy's "Valley of the Kings", told the story of Rome's early royal beginnings.
After digesting another huge slab of beefy Roman history and hungry for more, our doctorate in antiquities & dead and dying languages -Giorgio Armani-tour guide lead us to a wee feast at a family owned farm nearby.
Homemade sheep-cheese(pecorino) with honey, chopped cherry tomatoes on wood grilled semolina bread, paper thin prosciutto, asparagus fritatta, olive and mushroom timpanade, all offered with as much house red or white! We all sang our way back on the bus...definitely one of our best excursions we all agreed!
George was always tempted by every gelato opportunity!
