Discovering Morlupo: between the Veio Park and the Tiber Valley
Itinerary suggestion

•    Church of San Giovanni Battista 
The main church in the town, dating back to the 9th century, was heavily restored between the 19th and 20th centuries due to stability problems. The interventions of those years, however, also included renovations that changed its original appearance. On the outside, the 40-metre-high bell tower stands out; inside, the painting depicting the Circumcision, housed in the chapel of the same name and attributed to the Durer school, is noteworthy.

•    Church of the Madonna delle Grazie
Not far from the main square is this small church to which a special tradition called 'la covata' is linked. This is a gift offered to the Madonna on 8 September, the feast day, which consists of ‘brooded’ walnuts, i.e., kept in a hidden place throughout the year. 

•    Palazzetto Borghese
Leaning against the side of the hill, the building was constructed in the early 17th century in a strategic position between the two main roads of the town: Corso Umberto I, the main road to Rome, and Via Cesare Battisti, which leads to Capena and the Tiber Valley. The compact and powerful appearance of the building can be fully appreciated from the square where the large entrance portal is located. 
On the outside, the coat of arms of the Mattei family can still be seen, despite the building having subsequently passed into the hands of the Borghese family. Today it is municipal property and a venue for numerous cultural events.

•    Orsini Castle
Built in the late-16th century by the Orsini family on the remains of an earlier fortification, it features a central square courtyard. In order to have full control over the territory, it was equipped with two symmetrical entrances: one towards the main square, Piazza Giovanni XXIII, and the other towards Porta Romana and the old town. The defensive tower was later linked to the castle by a covered passageway.

•    Ancient Via Flaminia
In 2007, during construction work, a section of ancient road about 90 m long was uncovered. 
The road, which still largely retains its typical Roman paving, linked the town with Capena Vecchia and was highly trafficked, as is indicated by the presence of several tombs. At present, the area, although fenced off, is visible from Via di San Michele.

•    Casalaccio
Inside the Veio Park, along the path linking Morlupo and Castelnuovo di Porto, are some ruins of Roman origin. These are part of an ancient rustic villa equipped with a small cistern for collecting rainwater and connected to a series of small canals. The site is well preserved thanks to recent restoration.

Aniseed doughnuts: a mixture of flour, wine, oil and aniseed seeds to which sugar or salt is added, depending on which version is preferred. The doughnuts are baked in the oven and are perfect as a tasty snack or sweet end to a meal.

• Food and wine products, especially: oil, wine, honey, cold-cuts and cheeses.
