Casperia is a fortified medieval village in the Sabine Hills in the province of Rieti. Built on top a rocky hill and surrounded by mountains and deep valleys, the village commands a wonderful view of the Umbria/Latium Appenines. Although the name comes from a preroman city cited in Virgil (Aeniad VII,714)and by Silio Italico, the village was actually founded between the x and the XI centuries with the name Aspra. It lost this name as late as 1947 as a result of a village council decision harking back to a scholarly tradition whereby Aspra was linked to the ancient city of Casperia. There are still various important Roman remains in the parish. The remains of country villas can be seen.

In the beautiful territory of Casperia you can do lots of activities: beautiful naturalistic paths which go through the uncontaminated countryside and sport activities .

On demand guided walks to horse and visits can be organized.

Stretching from Rome to the rugged Apennine Mountains, the Sabina district looks like an old distant world, whose distinguishing elements are gently rollyng hillsides and secluded villages.
