Took a day trip to Tivoli today. It's a little hill town situated on the bend in a river, overlooking some really beautiful countryside. It's where Roman emperors and other rich Italians through the years built their vacation villas. I tried to go to a Renaissance-era one, the Villa d'Este, but it was closed 'cause it's Monday. I guess it has a water powered organ.
There is a spot on a hill with a spectacular view of the waterfall and the surrounding countryside where there are the ruins of ancient temples. They themselves are built on the ruins of the even more ancient (13th century BC) city of Tibur. It's not hard to see why they picked the spot.
