Roman Castles - Tour in Ferrari

Romans, however, associate strawberries with Nemi. The small, flavoursome strawberry from Nemi is also known, because of its size, as the “fragolina”. The “fragolina” comes from the area of the Castelli Romani. Since ancient times, the Nemi strawberry has been sold on the market stalls of Rome between May and September. Our traditional recipe today is called Fragolino di Nemi.

Occupying a height on the Alban Hills overlooking Lake Albano, Castel Gandolfo is considered one of Italy's most scenic towns.[8] Within the town's boundaries lies the Apostolic Palace of Castel Gandolfo which served as a summer residence and vacation retreat for the pope, the leader of the Catholic Church. Although the palace is located within the borders of Castel Gandolfo, it has extraterritorial status as one of the properties of the Holy See and is not under Italian jurisdiction. It is now open as a museum.
