    A great end of an afternoon visit. Took about 1.5 hrs to cover the whole town and was finished with a fantastic 'gelati' at the small bar on the way into the town.

    Do it the same! When you are leaving gate of middle age town Calcata and go back to 21-st century, make a stop in Arte&Cioccolata. You can spend a nice time with a sweet Stefania, taste her delicious products and watch all contemporary art around you. Take a time to absorb your middle age time adventure...thinking about our one thousand years long journey of this place and our civilization also of course...
