Quadrilocale in Vallerano

The cluster sits in the low, cultivated hills of the Viterbo area (northern Lazio) with mixed agricultural land, olive groves, vineyards and patches of broadleaf woodland. Viterbo (provincial capital) lies within about 15 km and provides a medieval town centre, the cathedral (Duomo), the Papal Palace (Palazzo dei Papi) and municipal services. Viterbo also has thermal baths (Terme dei Papi) and a regional rail link toward Rome. The locality is inside the historical sub-region known as Tuscia, on volcanic-derived soils; the wider province contains Etruscan and medieval sites and small-scale agricultural production (olive oil and local wines).
