Ceccano. Villa Comunale Antonelli Palace

Once an Italian garden at Antonelli Palace, it is one of the green ‘lungs’ of the city of Ceccano.

Entering the main entrance and walking along the avenue is like "retracing" the history of the city through lavish names sculptured on blocks of travertine rhomboidals embedded among the sampietrini (walkways of black bevelled stones).

When the palace with the annexed garden were owned by the Antonelli, the last owner, Count Domenico, walked along the avenue with his powerful Bugatti.

In the upper part there is a portion of the Fontanone dei Delfini - Dolphines' fountain, a public fountain once located in Piazza Berardi (lower part of the city) in front of the villa of the Marquis Berardi, both destroyed by the bombings of 1944.
