There are two different faces to the village: in the summer, the place is ridden with festivities, there is a day for soups, one for figs, one for chickpeas and cakes. All products are locally produced and handed out on set dates, when people come from around the region for them. In the winter, the village is quiet and silent, most of the houses stay unused. It is colder here than in the valley so many old locals spend the winter in Latina or Rome and come back for spring. Vans bring food and clothes regularly during the week.

There is a special kind of solidarity given the isolatedness of the place. The old villagers work on their vegetable gardens and animals, are proud of their produces and generous. A different activity for each season, or often each particular week in the year, the villagers are always busy in their own rhythm with nature in one way or another. In autumn they have been known to search for or trap ciammotte (snails) which they cook in a strange spicy tomato watery sauce, and then eat with the aid of toothpicks. Autumn is for mushrooms which grow in the surrounding woodland, mainly galletti, but also porcini (truffles).
