Anticoli Corrado is a hillside community located roughly 25 miles northeast of Rome. The picturesque Italian town has been popular with artists since the 19th century, and its young inhabitants often posed as models for the community of artists who lived near the Piazza di Spagna in Rome during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
