About
Along the Italian coast sits the lost summer home of the Roman Emperor and a grotto filled with enormous sculptures.
Sperlonga, an Italian beach town reminiscent of Greek with its seaside views and wandering white streets that lead up and down stacked houses and small towns, stands out with fascinating ruins and a huge grotto. Tiberius, who ruled between Rome and Naples between 14 and 37 AD, is widely believed to have had a summer villa along the coast. But the villa wasn’t discovered until 1957 so close to Sperlonga.
