Buongiorno! Are you looking for a true Italian experience filled with picturesque scenery, a chance to be a part of authentic Italian traditions, and exciting festivals that last weeks on end? Located just eighteen miles from Italy’s capital Rome, lies the luscious lands of Nemi which has often been refered to as “a home to muses and nymphs”. Nemi, which lies on the Alban Hills offers a spectacular view which overlooks the volcanic Lake just a few miles north called Lake Nemi. Even though the town of Nemi is the largest in the region of Lazio, its population only consists of 1,719 people (846 male, 873 female, and only 653 families). Since Nemi is surrounded by flourishing meadows and miles of sacred forests, it is only natural that it is most famous for beautiful, exotic flowers and luscious strawberries. A perfect time to visit the quaint town would be in the summer months of May where the strawberry harvest begins. Soon after, ‘Sagra delle Fragola’ and related festivities follow and last until the end of June. Also just a few miles away at Lake Nemi, visitors can experience some of the history by going to Nemi’s ancient temple ruins and admiring the relics of a lake Nemi ship wreck.
