The little train from Rome takes only half an hour, and costs €1,90. It's a nice trip, chugging up through the vineyards of the Alban hills. The town is pretty, overlooked by the Aldobrandini villa, and on clear days (like the day we happened to be there) you can see all the way to the sea and across all of Rome.
But back to the pork... The main square of Frascati is roast pig central. Porchetta people (their technical title) from all over the area - the home of porchetta - come here to sell pig. It's splendid. €9 got us two massive sandwiches and two plastic cups of exquisitely rough first-press Frascati - a winning combination, best enjoyed on a high wall in the sunshine, thus:
This place looks amazing!!! x
