Arpino is a little town, located in the province of Frosinone, in the Latin Valley, region of Lazio in central Italy, between Rome and Naples.
Five interesting facts about Arpino:
It dates back to the 7th century BC.
It received full privileges (civitas cum suffragio) in 188 B.C.
It was the birthplace of the Roman philosopher and orator, Marcus Tullius Cicero (106–43 BC).
There are remains of the ancient Roman roads, Via Latina and Via dell'Aquila Romana.
The ancient polygonal walls, which are still finely preserved, are among the best in Italy.

I love the architecture and the way the buildings are like built together. The old pedestrian streets are something I'd love to see along with the old buildings and pedestrian steps.
