Furlo Gorge

(Local Name: Gola del Furlo) There is a rewarding drive to the Furlo Gorge (Gola del Furlo), enclosed by sheer rock faces. At the narrowest point is the Galleria Romana del Furlo or Forulus (177m/584ft), a tunnel 37m/40yd long carrying the Via Flaminia through the rock. It bears an inscription recording that it was cut by the Emperor Vespasian in A.D. 76. Adjoining is the older Galleria Piccola del Furlo 8m/9yd long (third century B.C.).
