The tomb of Cicerone (Cicero to the west)
unravelau Says: Cicero was a pretty famous person back in the days of Caeser. He caused quite a stir then, and 2000 years later we're still stirring him. Will he ever rest is the question.This picture is of Cicero's tomb, and the reason that he still might be wriggling around is because the...
Meet friendly Erasmo: My favourite coffee shop in Formia
unravelau Says: A truly wonderful, modern, clean and tidy restaurant, directly opposite Formia's Post Office. I am told that the food is good but I only ever had coffee and cake here. So I guess the bau bau (have no idea of the spelling), but its a beautiful light cake steeped in a honey...

Getting around the water and getting to Formia
unravelau Says: On the last couple of days of my stay in 2001, I took a series of photo's of the foreshores from a position on a jetty jutting into the Gulfo di Gaeta (at Formia). So as I was standing in the water (so to speak), I had an ideal opportunity to observe the vehicles coming and...

The glass floor arcade.: A Special Arcade in Formia

One custom is to have a memorial to war dead.
unravelau Says: Every township that I went into had a monument to their war dead in a fairly prominent place. Formia is no different. This is to be found in a park alongside the main road through Formia ........Via Vitruvio, just about opposite the National Museum.
Fuente Says: Be on the lookout cross the streets a moped might come out ofnowhere and hit you especially at night
If dependent upon bus for return home after
unravelau Says: a festival, be sure to check the time of the last bus and indeed where it might leave from, because they often by pass the main road (via Vitruvio) in favour of the back streets to avoid crowds and side shows etc. I got a sickening feeling in my stomach when the prescribed...
The Pathway to Formia from Rome is well used
unravelau Says: but the southern route is not so busy. Just out of town on the main road towards Scauri - Minturno and then Campania, you will see this structure, and probably wonder about it like me. Mind you the photo was taken out of a moving bus and therefore may not be as clear as if I...

You've heard of Vittorio Emanuel 11?
unravelau Says: The wonderful monument to V Emanuel 11 which takes up so much space in Rome? Well, in Formia, there is a monument to Vittorio Emanuel the first (so I was told)..........was this his Dad?.................... Not anywhere near as grand a monument although it appears to be the...
