TIVOLI IS SITUATED ALONG THE ANIENE RIVER NEAR
THE GREAT WATERFALL ON THE WESTERN SLOPES OF THE
MONTI TIBURTINI *QUITE HIGH HILLS TO THE EAST OF
ROME*. SINCE ANCIENT TIMES THE TOWN HAS TAKEN
ADVANTAGE BOTH OF ITS CLIMATE AND OF ITS POSITION
AS IT CONTROLLED THE WHOLE TRAFFIC FROM AND TO
THE ABRUZZI.
THE RICHNESS OF THE WATERS FAVOURED OVER THE
CENTURIES THE CONSTRUCTIONS OF LARGE
ARCHITECTURAL COMPLEXES.
THE MOST REMARKABLE EXAMPLES ARE CONSTITUTED BY*
VILLA ADRIANA DATING FROM ROMAN TIMES THE XVI
CENTURY VILLA D*ESTE VILLA GREGORIANA BUILT IN
THE XIX CENTURY IN THE CHASM OF THE ANIENE VALLEY
JUST UNDERNEATH THE ROMAN ACROPOLIS.
TRADITION RELATES THAT THE ORIGINS OF TIVOLI DATE
FROM 1215 B.C. AND CORRESPOND TO THE FOUNDING OF
THE LATIN VILLAGE *TIBUR* WHICH PROBABLY STOOD ON
THE SITE OF THE ACROPOLIS. ROME SOON HAD GREAT
INFLUENCE ON TIVOLI *380 B.C.* TO WHICH WAS
DIRECTLY LINKED BY VIA TIBURTINA.
