Lake Giulianello

Lake Giulianello, also called "Lago La Torre" is the third volcanic lake in the Colli Albani, after Lake Albano and Lake Nemi. In 2007, by decree of the President of the Lazio Region, it was erected as a natural monument. It is an oval-shaped volcanic lake with a perimeter of 1.8 km, and is located between the municipalities of Velletri and Cori, in an exclave administered by the municipality of Artena. Orographically, it can be identified in the plain between the Colli Albani and the Lepini mountains. Site of pleasant scenic beauty, it hosts a remarkable biodiversity of fauna (fish and birdlife) and flora (reed thickets and secular oaks along the shore).

A lake of serenity, an uncontaminated place immersed in the countryside of Giulianello, a hamlet of Cori. Not very large, you can see the fish surfacing, well-kept olive trees on one bank, other imposing shrubs on the other banks, the weeds are kept under control certainly by those who take care of the park. Quiet place, apart from a Belgian shepherd puppy that kept barking at me, breaking the silence. Two elderly people who had bathed in the lake said it was drinkable, it is clear that they love this lake, I would not have drunk it anyway. To reach the lake I traveled dirt roads and paths for 97% starting from Nemi. From here you cross paths of the Francigena, the journey could have continued. It was worth it. Beautiful
