Just half an hour from Rome in the city of Tivoli, nature blooms, history comes to life, and if it wasn't for the cafés and people on smartphones, you might feel like you're back in the 19th century.
After the park was created, it quickly became a top-rated destination for artists, writers and 'men of culture', who were all inspired by its beauty and went on to represent it in their work.
Stand in awe of Cascata Grande, the second highest waterfall in Italy.
