Another fountain on the Via Appia - Itri

Itri's Fountain by Murat.

Murat fountain on the via appia.

Itri has a very popular flower festival to encourage people to come and share in their very obvious warm community life.

An old Roman Castle still remains on the high side of town but I didn't quite get to the front door.

http://www.337thinfantry.net/ThenNow/Album10.html -- This link will take you to a series of photos that include another of the same fountain, and various landmarks around Itri, Minturno, Terracina and the via Appia.

Oh yes, the stairs never end in Italy. Roads and walks, Only up or down. Never horizontally straight. Nice little town, good write-up! :)
