Against the magnificent scenery of the Ernici mountains, this center is ideal for tourists both for the good air and attractive natural surroundings, and for the delicious local cuisine and great hospitality of its people. The origins of Guercino date back to the 8th century BC, when it was a settlement with the name of Vercenum of the Ernici, a pre-Roman Italic people, and strategic point in the valley of the Aniene river.
Nowadays it is a favorite starting point for excursions into the limestone mountains, amid age old trees, spring waters and picturesque grottos.
