The solitary Monte Soratte, as Goethe called it, which dominates the roofs of the small town of Napi, was certainly a place inhabited by man already in the Bronze Age, as documented by various findings of ceramics and artifacts. Recognizable and visible from afar, in pre-Roman times, it was a place of worship by the Etruscans, the Falisci, the Capenti and the Sabines. A tradition that was carried on first by the Romans and, later, by the Christians, becoming a destination for hermits in search of meditation, peace and silence.
