Oriolo Romano and Palazzo Altieri

Oriolo Romano brings together the 17th-century Palazzo Altieri, a planned village and the tree-lined Olmate avenues around its central square. Visit frescoed rooms, the ancestors’ hall and the remarkable roughly 65-metre gallery of papal portraits, then walk through Piazza Umberto I, Via Clodia and the Olmate. Allow 2–2.5 hours. Standard admission is €5, €2 for EU citizens aged 18–25 and free under 18. The institute lists opening Tuesday–Sunday from 08:30; official pages show different closing times, so confirm the day’s schedule.

Allow about 5.5–6 hours overall including transfers. The historic palace includes stairs, so confirm the accessible route in advance. No private guide or organised activity is required.

Picchiapó, Via Giuseppe Mazzini 1, is about 300 metres from the palace. Its 2026 menu lists pesto gnocchi at €14, scallop-and-prawn panciotto at €17 and tuna puttanesca tagliolino at €18, with a €28 average. Confirm menu, prices, opening and table directly. Food not included; no VIAOLTRE agreement.
