Tivoli, the back garden of Rome

Tivoli is a town in the Lazio region in central Italy, located at the Agnese Falls, about 30 kilometers northeast of Rome. Due to the flood in 1826, Pope Gregory XVI promoted a grand water conservancy project in 1832, excavating the Cartello Mountain for 300 meters, with a width of 10 meters at the entrance and 7.2 meters at the exit. Then the Agnese River was diverted from here, bypassing the Tivoli residential area, forming the 120-meter-high Agnese Falls, second only to the Marmore Falls, and the second highest in Italy. The Agnese River at the bottom of the waterfall flows to Rome and then merges into the Tiber River. Tivoli's human settlement history can be traced back to the 13th century BC. It was defeated and annexed by Rome in 338 BC, and it was not until 90 BC that it obtained Roman citizenship and became a resort famous for its beautiful mountains and waters. It has many Roman villas, including Octavian, the founder of the Roman Empire, and his political adviser Gaius Maecenas. The poet Horace also had a simple villa, but the most famous is the world cultural heritage, the Adriana Villa built by Hadrian from 118 to 138 AD, also known as the "Hadrian Villa", and the outstanding representative of Italian gardens, with fountains, sculptures, caves, water games and hydraulic music, which are impressive and constitute the Baroque model of Villa d'Este that has been repeatedly imitated in European style painting. #see the earth in an instant#green tourism#overseas travel#world heritage#world cultural heritage#rome#unesco#italy#tivoli
