Genzano di Roma

Genzano di Roma extends across a volcanic plateau above Lake Nemi, surrounded by stone defensive walls along the ancient Appian Way.

The Cistercian monks received this territory from Pope Lucius III in 1183 and constructed a substantial castle in 1235, forming the foundation of the town.

The Infiorata festival transforms streets into intricate flower carpets each June, continuing a tradition that began in 1778.

The town center contains two main sections: the medieval quarter and a newer district that expanded from the 17th century, connected by public squares.

Protected by geographical indication status, Genzano bread features a crispy crust and soft interior, earning the town recognition as the City of Bread.
