The borgo of Foglia is listed as one of the "Borghi Più Belli d'Italia" (Italy's most beautiful villages).
The tiny village has a population of just 39 inhabitants but the local region is well known for its wine and olive oil; in fact , so much so that it was commented upon by none other than the poet Horace ("Orazio" in Italian), more than 2,000 years ago. |
The nearest main town to Foglia is Magliano Sabina which has its own motorway junction making this an easy place to visit by car. Whilst in the local area you could head west, crossing the River Tiber, to visit some of the old Etruscan or "Tuscia" towns such as Civita Castellana, Fabrica di Roma or Nepi.
