We visit the town where "Everybody Loves Raymond was filmed

On our last day in Italy we took the train to Anguillaria Sabazia. It is a small town 45 minutes north of Rome on Lake Bracciano.This is the town where "Everybody Loves Raymond' filmed the two episodes in Italy. I have to admit that it was the show that gave us the idea to go to Italy for anniversary. We love the food, too. The old part of the city is still walled and guarded
by a castle.



Actually, we took the train to Anguillaria, which is a different town. It's actually a 3 mile walk from the train station to the next town. Their is a little orange bus you can take for .65 Euros, but we weren't sure which little orange bus to take. If you ask how far, the standard answer was "2 kilometers." Did I mention that Diann was really tired of walking.


The entrance to the old city.












If you watch the show, you might recognize some of these show locations.


You might recognize this piazza from the show if it wasn't for all the cars.














The small narrow roads never stopped amazing us.



















This balcony looks out over Lake Bracciano. It is right in front of the fort.








The steps in Italy are murder. Peoples front doors opened on to these stairs.





















The Gelato bar near the lakefront









The old walled part of the town as seen from the fishing pier.
This was the beachfront of the town. Check out the sailboats. I bet this place is awesome in July.



Diann and I debated whether this is the house the Barones stayed in while visiting Italy.








This concludes our pictures. The next day we checked out of the hotel and flew home. We had a great time and would love to go back again some day.
