It was a surprise to me when I came to know about a place near Rome, called Rocca di Papa. I came to know about this place on my travel to meet a client in 2004.
Rocca di Papa is one of the smallest villages in the area called “Roman Castles – Castelli Romani” and is not really famous compared to places like Frascati, Firenze, Ariccia or Nemi.
The stretch of the road in question is short, about one hundred meters, and can be reached along the so-called ‘Via dei Laghi’ (on the road for Castelli Romani). From Highway 218 Appia is deviated for Velletri, following the Via dei Laghi and arriving at a quadrivio, dividing in diverse directions. Taking the road to the right in the direction to ‘Ariccia’, you find a descent, which then begins as a ‘ascent’, precisely at the point where this anomalìa occurs. But what is it?
In this stretch of road, any object in the world curious tends to climb the slope or, if placed on the side reverse (downhill), it slowed down and even back. Why?
Opinions are divided. Some think that it is an optical effect. The magnetism anomaly seems to be thrown away as an explanation.

The surprising fact about Rocca di Papa is that there is a piece of road close to Rocca di papa where if you kick a bottle down to the street or you put your car switched off in this descent, your car never go down but slowly will go up. I have personally experienced this and it was an amazing thing to experience. - No Gravitational Force???
