About Castelli Romani
The area of the Castelli is volcanic. The former crater is occupied by two lakes, Albano and Nemi. As the area’s altitude is higher than that of Rome the richer Romans used to frequent it for its cooler climate during summer. This tradition was followed by the Popes, who still have their summer residence atCastel Gandolfo. The area is well-known for its wine, particularly that ofFrascatialthough with a few honourable exceptions the quality is not too high. Ariccia is celebrated for its porchetta (roasted pork meat), while Nemi is a berry fruit center. A wide range of mushrooms can also be found in the Castelli. The Castelli Romani have a number of small, but interesting, museums. They share aweb site.
