The Roman Cisterns of Fermo

The visit to the Fermo Roman cisterns is incredibly exciting, as they are in a perfect state of conservation and are able to vividly show the magnificence of a project so efficient that some rooms were used until the eighties of the twentieth century.

It is very suggestive to meet obsolete writings such as “Calma, Uscita- Stay calm, Exit”, dating back to the Second World War, when the rooms were used as a shelter against bombings.

Thanks to Chiara Capezzani for being our guide inside this wide underground complex, datable to the end of the 1st century B.C. , the largest in Italy (2200 mq).
