Important and ancient Roman funerary monument located along the old via Appia, preserved very well since the structure has retained its original features. Being on the side of the road you can admire him quietly, only that it deserves a little more attention and care from the competent authorities.

This is a funeral monument located along the route of the ancient via Appia and its popular name comes from the shape that recalls the Distaff (or time) which is used to spin. The Tomb dates from the 2nd century a.d. and with good approximation is equipped with eleven niches where the urns. According to tradition here were deposited the remains of Flavia Domitilla, the matron granddaughter of Vespasian, persecuted by Domitian as Christian. The mausoleum is one of the most significant monuments which have survived retaining its original character; Since the significant renovations made during the reign of Ferdinand IV of Bourbon and also subsequent ones have preserved facilities not altering basically the original appearance.

monumento storico imponente e antico che sorge lungo la via Appia. Bello da vedere quando si passa con la macchina. Fermarsi è inutile poiché come al solito noi del sud non valorizzano nulla more »

imposing and ancient historical monument that is located along the via Appia. Nice to see when going by car. Stop is useless because as usual we southerners emphasize anything

Piccolo mausoleo carino ma che rompe la continuità del passo pedonale causando qualche disagio. Inoltre è chiuso al pubblico tranne che per rarissime occasioni.

Cute but small mausoleum that breaks the continuity of the pedestrian pace causing some discomfort. It is also closed to the public except on rare occasions.

Secondo Wikipedia, Curti, deve la sua notorietà (io mi domando, quale notorietà?) proprio alla Conocchia. A parte gli scherzi, si tratta di un antichissimo monumento funerario risalente al secondo secolo dopo cristo. Alcune leggende metropolitane riguardo la Conocchia indicano che sia l'entrata di una serie di passaggi che conducano sino a Roma. Quando la visitai, notai solamente le undici nicchie ma la mia ricerca non fu così appurata a causa della mancanza di tempo. Come qualcuno ha già detto non vi sono ne targhe ne descrizioni, potrebbe essere infatti un'ottima metà da visitare, per chi si trova di passaggio fra Caserta e Santa Maria Capua Vetere e viceversa.

According to Wikipedia, Curti, owes its reputation (I wonder, such notoriety?) right at the Distaff. All kidding aside, this is a very ancient funerary monument dating from the second century after Christ. Some urban legends about the Distaff indicate that both the entry of a set of steps that lead up to Rome. When I visited, I noticed only the eleven niches but my search was not determined due to lack of time. As someone has already said there are no signs it might be a good descriptions, in fact half to visit, if you are passing between Caserta and Santa Maria Capua Vetere and vice versa.
