A walk through the town centre The old centre dates back to the 16th-7th Century, with small squares, twisting narrow alley ways and steps. Many of the old buildings have deep cellars (even on 6 levels) dug out of the tufo rock (the extracted blocks then used to build the upper stories). The former town hall - Palazzo Comunale - built in the renaissance style has an interesting "loggetta" with three arches supported by four old columns and is currently the offices of the local monthly mag "La Loggetta" (with some articles in English - www.laloggetta.it). Other sights include the Brancaleone fountain and the birthplace of Lucia Burlini in Via Umberto I: the town's most famous citizen, a weaver who dedicated her life to helping the poor, the sick and the homeless.
