An hour or so out of Rome is Tivoli, sight of Emperor Hadrian's Villa, I wandered around it with my family, quite possibly one of the worlds great ruins, wholly empty, just me and my daughter and mum and stepdad and a few goats, peak Italy, the guy on the gate selling tickets was fast asleep in his hut, we just wandered in, Tivoli is a mountain town, medieval worth a visit without the ruin, there's a world class (2 star Michelin I recall) restaurant there on the hill side overlooking the valley, had a lovely bit of horse cooked with cheese
