Fontan Tempesta is much more than a simple spring: it is a melting pot of history, geology, and legend located in the heart of the Castelli Romani Park, along the ancient path connecting Genzano, Nemi, and Rocca di Papa. 1. History and Name The name "Tempesta" has ancient roots. Some historians link it to the Tempesta family, local nobles in the Middle Ages. Others, more romantically, maintain that the area is so named for the frequency of intense atmospheric phenomena due to the particular shape of the Nemi volcanic crater, which "attracts" thunderstorms. 2. A Hydrographic Turning Point The spring is located approximately 600 meters above sea level. Geologically, the water that flows here is the result of filtering through the pyroclastic rocks of the Laziale Volcano. The fact that it has returned to flow after years of drought is an important sign of the restoration of surface water tables, often strained by the scarce rainfall of recent years. 3. Crossroads of Pilgrims and Wayfarers Historically, Fontan Tempesta was an obligatory stop for those traveling the Southern Via Francigena or for pilgrims heading to the Temple of Diana in Nemi. Even today, it is a favorite "turning point" for bikers and hikers because it represents the coolest and most sheltered spot in the forest, where the microclimate remains humid even in the height of summer.

Nice spot to make pause and regain energy. Don’t expect water flowing during summer months

Hello Do you know if the trail is exposed in any places? We have a 15-month-old baby, and my wife is particularly afraid of the exposed sections. Thank you very much.

Starting from Lariano it is a long walk. The only advice is to do it in company because you will meet flocks of sheep, sometimes, without shepherds.

"It is an oasis that includes the waters of a small lake and the surrounding areas, between the provinces of Rome and Latina. The natural monument was established with Presidential Decree 21 June 2007, no. 425 (B.U.R. of 30 July 2007, no. 21). Located halfway between the volcanic heights of the Alban Hills and the limestone ones of the Lepini Mountains, at an altitude of 265 meters above sea level, for its naturalistic values, Lake Giulianello was identified as a natural monument by the Lazio Region in 2008. Of volcanic origin like the nearby lakes of the Alban Hills, Lake Giulianello is sub-elliptical in shape and measures about a kilometer and a half in perimeter. The depth of the seabed is just over 10 meters and its waters are fed mainly by underground springs."

It's a real shame that there is no more water, but this place is definitely worth a visit.
