*Some History*
The first human settlements date back to more than 700,000 years.
The people who lived in those places were of the Hernici, migrated - as it seems - from the Aniene valley and descendant from the Marsi (Marsians) (or from the Sabines), at least according to the ethnical term deriving from the Marsian herna ("stone"), that is: "Those who live on the stony hills".
Anagni was an important city and spiritual centre of the Hernici.
Recent archaeological discoveries have revealed cultural and economic relationships between the Hernici and the Etruscans around the 7th century BC. In 307 BC, the Hernici, with the exception of Aletrium (Alatri), Verulae (Veroli), and Ferentinum (Ferentino) declared war on Rome. After suffering setbacks the Hernici offered unconditional surrender. In 306 BC the towns which had not joined the war remained independent, while “Anagnia and such others as had borne arms against the Romans were admitted to citizenship without the right to vote.
In Imperial times, many emperors spent their summers in Anagni to escape the heat of Rome, the most notable ones being Marcus Aurelius, Septimius Severus, Commodus, and Caracalla.
During the 10th and the 11th centuries, the city strengthened its link with the papal court: In fact, the popes began to consider the old capital city of the Hernici a safer and healthier spot compared to Rome, which was the place of frequent epidemic diseases.
As a result, several events connected with the struggle between Papacy and Empire took place in the city.
The 13th century was the golden age of the city. In one hundred years, Anagni produced four popes, three of them members of the Conti family
Anagni is connected to the events in the life of Boniface VIII, the fourth Pope to be born in the city. He was elected after the abdication of Celestine V, but opposed by French Cardinals and by the powerful Colonna Family.
In 1300, Boniface VIII, set up the first Jubilee and founded the first Roman university, but also began a feud with the King of France, Philip the Fair, who had assigned himself the right to tax the French clergy. In response, in 1302 Boniface delivered the Bull Unam Sanctam, which assigned to the Pope absolute supremacy over the earthly power of kings. In anger, Philip organized an expedition to arrest and help remove Boniface from his office.
On 7 September 1303, the king's advisor Guillaume de Nogaret and Sciarra Colonna led a band of two thousand mercenaries. They joined locals in an attack on the palaces of the pope and his nephew at Anagni. The palace was plundered and Boniface was nearly killed (Nogaret prevented Sciarra Colonna from murdering the pope). Still, Boniface was held prisoner and starved of food and drink for three days. This incident is called the ***𝗢𝘂𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗔𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗻𝗶***. According to a legend, during the imprisonment, the Pope was slapped by Sciarra Colonna with his gauntlet: the episode is called the Schiaffo di Anagni (***𝗔𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗻𝗶 𝗦𝗹𝗮𝗽***).
The virtual walk starts just in the vicinity of the main square then tours into the narrow streets of this ancient town.
