Faggeta di Soriano
Lazio
Rising above Lago di Vico, this beech forest includes stands recognized for their age and structural complexity, some trees estimated at well over a century old with a genuinely old-growth character rare this close to Rome. The volcanic soil of the Cimini hills supports a dense understory of ferns and wild garlic in spring. Wild boar are common, and roe deer sightings are increasingly reported.
