A scenic hill popular for its breathtaking views of the city.
Every day at noon, the canon fires (blancs of course) across the city a tradition since 1847, on the order of Pope Pius IX. In addition to a spectacular view there is an interesting park with the statue of Giuseppe Garibaldi on his horse and along the road nearby busts of famous soldiers who died in the process of the unifaction of the various states and the battles that ensued. Further along can be found Giuseppe's wife Anita also on horse-back, a pistol in one hand her baby in the other - some girl!
