In the search of autumn

Everybody will think that I am crazy but I really miss autumn! Colourful leaves, morning breeze, collecting chestnuts... And well, no autumn in here until November! And even then, it's not really what I'm used to. 
I convinced P. to leave the city for a weekend and look for signs of autumn in the local woods. But how difficult is to find proper paths to walk - nobody knows anything as there is no forest-walking culture in Italy. 
We went to Castelli Romani region, just one hour from the centre of Rome. We stayed in enormous agroturismo (good for fun for kids, worse for an intime weekend get-away) - with a little farm, restaurants, playgrounds... But we managed to have two short walks, including one on an amazing Via Sacra - a path built before Christ! One can't have everything, no?:)

Walking is tiring
