 Introduzione
Today Fiuggi is a classic Italian hill town, beginning with its layout as two separate towns. Blanketing the slopes at 2500 feet above sea level is the medieval old town, called Fiuggi Citta. At its feet is the 20th-century spa town, called Fiuggi Fonte.
Come Si Arriva By plane
The airports in Rome are the closest airports, there are two airports:
Officially named Leonardo da Vinci Airport, Fiumicino is a major port of call for intercontinental as well as national and European flights. The airport is situated 32km from the city, close to the sea. The airport is very well connected to Roma Termini station by the Leonardo Express train, with departures every 30 minutes
Ciampino is the second airport of Rome and is mainly used by low-cost airlines. To get to the city you must first take a Cotral bus (every half hour) and then subway A from Anagnina station. Also available is the Terravision Shuttle in conjunction with Ryanair and Easy-Jet flights.

Rome is reachable also through a daily coach service Via Autostrada del Sole highway which take about one hour from Rome Termini (Central Railway Station) to Fiuggi.
History and Culture
From the 16th to the 19th century, Fiuggi and many nearby hill towns were part of the Papal States. Unlike its neighbors, Anticoli di Campagna provided a source of revenue through the sales of its miraculous waters, and so it was often “bestowed” upon noble families in payment for services rendered. Sometimes these aristocrats didn't bother to visit the town, but they always sent a delegate to make sure none or few of the profits stayed in town. These upper-class outsiders slowly covered the original medieval walls with the painted plaster similar to what is found in present day Rome, thus changing almost the entire appearance of the town. Today a very active group of local residents is slowly restoring the stone façades in an effort to restore the city to its medieval form.
Chiese e Musei
The church of San Biagio, which was entirely rebuilt in the 17th century.
Historical buildings and monuments
The cast iron fountain in Piazza Piave, was erected in 1907 to celebrate the arrival of running water in the town that owes its very existence to the abundant springs running below the hill.
Fiuggi Spa
Fiuggi offers visitors two splendid Thermal Bath centers:
Anticolana Spa
This is popular in the afternoon. Again you drink the waters in a park environment with live music and dancing; waltz, tango, quickstep, a bit of line dancing and Latin American. In addition to the music there are tennis courts, crazy golf, bowling, children's playground, bar, theatre, and a train suitable of Children which run around the park.
Bonifacio Spa
This is where people go to drink the waters, situated in a wood of chestnut trees. Entertainment includes live music in the morning with typical Italian songs.
Eventi
“Stuzze” (stubble) used to be burned during the Festival, which goes back to pagan times; over the years they became trunks of oak trees or even wooden huts covered with broom branches specially built for the rite.
The Feast of Saint Blaise is on the 3rd of February but the festival is held again on the first Sunday of August so that summer visitors can enjoy the town's traditions.
