The Museum of Roman Ships of Nemi was built to house the immense ships found between the 1920s and 1930s, then closed after a terrible fire that destroyed the boats until 1953.

For some years the ships of Emperor Caligula have returned to shine, after complicated years.

View of Lake Nemi

Highlight • Viewpoint

Access to the descent to the lake from Genzano is very well blocked by the municipality. However, the obstacle is easily circumvented and the path (formerly a road) is bumpy but easy to follow. Despite the prohibition of access imposed, there are no apparent signs of danger that could make the tour dangerous. There are the best views of the lake along the stretch, to which you must pay close attention as it is overhanging. Enjoy the view from a safe distance.

Lake Nemi

Highlight • Lake

Seen from above, Lake Nemi is a small landscape "pearl". Seen from below it is no exception, and one realizes even more of what one of the craters of the ancient Latium Volcano must have been. To visit along the way the Museum of Roman Ships or the temple of Diana. The ascent to Genzano is challenging if you do it from the left side of the lake. Possibility to do the whole tour.

Nice excursion done with a friend, with the tour around the lake, the discovery of this Agriturismo that in summer hosts theatrical performances on a small wooden stage (the Teatro di Paglia) and that offers guests in addition to a house (for rent) the possibility of having a barbecue, honey, medicinal plants and more, and finally the climb to Nemi, …
