The Parco degli Acquedotti is a public park to the southeast of Rome, Italy. It is part of the Appian Way Regional Park and is of approximately 240 ha.
The park is named after the aqueducts that run through it. It is crossed on one side by the Aqua Felix and also contains part of the Aqua Claudia and the remains of Villa delle Vignacce[2] to the North West. A short stretch of the original Roman Via Latina can also be seen.
The park is near the Cinecittà film studios and is often used as a film location. In the opening shot of La Dolce Vita, a statue of Christ is suspended from a helicopter that flies along the route of the Aqua Claudia.
The park has been used as a film set for several productions, including La dolce vita, Mamma Roma, Il marchese del Grillo, La grande bellezza, Totò, Peppino e la malafemmina and the television series Roma, I Cesaroni and Distretto di Polizia.
