Map to locate our itineraries dedicated to Pomona, the fruits goddess

These territories are around 100 km (62 miles) distant from Rome’s city center. They are characterized by charming old towns which, due to their characteristics, history, and traditions, we can group under the name of Teverina district and they are paradise to our Italian e-bike guided tours. These lands have a Volcano soil giving an inestimable wealth to agriculture, especially vineyards and olive groves. We are at the border of the Region Latium, north of the eternal city, among the Tiber River and the biggest volcanic lake in Europe. For the fertility of the soil, the e-bike guided tours that will be led on it are dedicated to the archaic goddess of Pomona, the lady of the fruits, wife of Vertumno, a mysterious pre-Jupiter, god of changes, transformations, and seasons. Do not miss the article about her and click on her name.
