Subjects : It is a hilly and low mountain area mainly used for breeding in the wild. The area is located behind the city of Civitavecchia. It is a well-known area for nesting birds of prey, and you can meet brown and king kites and the rare short-toed eagle. There are also lodolaio, sea jay, cappellaccia and oriole. Among the mammals the wild boar and the wolf. In spring and summer you can easily photograph many species of insects of all kinds and kinds: butterflies, dragonflies and damselflies. Golden cetonia and yellow-fronted scolia.

Recommended equipment : For insects macro equipment, for focal birds above 400 mm. I recommend a telezoom 150-600 or 200-600 with extension tubes with which you can photograph everything.

Best months : The area can be frequented all year round, but for photography the spring and summer period is preferable.

How to get there : To get there from Rome, you can take the Roma Civitavecchia motorway, exit at Santa Marinella and follow the road signs to Tolfa. Or exit at Civitavecchia south and follow the signs for Tolfa and Allumiere. I recommend searching on google maps for Fontanaccia, in the center of the park, from which several roads and paths can be traveled by off-road and / or on foot.

Visits : The area can be visited all year round with free admission. Along the paved roads that run through it there are many roads and paths that can be traveled on foot with wooden gates to be closed to avoid the movement of horses and cows grazing.
