Le acque di Tivoli, ovvero considerazioni geografico-storiche sulla valle dell’Aniene

Abstract

The Aniene river runs through strongly distinct regions: the mountainous upper valley distinguishes itself into karstic calcareous landforms and arenaceous-marly landforms; the cascades of Tivoli underline the clear-cut morphological detachment: beyond the huge travertine tabular formation, the river enters into the Campagna Romana Plio-Pleistocene sediments. Landscapes are historically interpretated by means of eighteenth and nineteenth-century documents.
