Fiuggi: Taking The Waters in the Hills
If you're in Rome in the spring or from August to November, you can take a wonderful day off and head for the hills south of the city, to the enchanting medieval town of Fiuggi. Originally called Anticoli di Campagna, the obscure conglomerate of stone buildings gained renown as early as the 1300s, when Pope Boniface VIII claimed his kidney stones had been healed by the mineral waters that gushed forth from the nearby Fiuggi spring. Two centuries later they relieved Michelangelo of what he called "the only kind of stone I couldn't love."
