Excerpt from L'Aniene: Con 102 Illustrazioni E 3 Tavole
Il fiume, proprio in vicinanza di Tivoli, girando intorno al Catillo, avvolge il pendio settentrionale del monte Ripoli e si precipita. In basso, nella pianura, in cui il nulla č di una maestą di una grandezza suprema. Ma. Č tuttora visibile la. Strada che esso percorreva. Nell antichitą, allorquando rasentava l'odierno abitato, scalzando formidabilmente la rupe su cui la cittą si eleva. Sisto V, volendo difendere le case.
