Among the sweet and splendid mountain hills of Sabina there is some deep rocky valley, defending a beautiful village with buildings and alleys made of white stones. That's why from belvedere of Cottanello you can look at one of the most beautiful views of Sabina area: the medieval village, the round mounts covered by forests, and a white canyon right down.
