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.

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

The name "Castel Gandolfo" has been synonymous with the (former) summer residence of the popes located there for centuries. The buildings have been open to visitors as a museum since 2016, and the “Laudato Si” environmental center has been under construction in the extensive gardens since 2024. Much less well-known is an episode from the time of the Second World War: namely that in 1944 the entire complex was opened by the Holy See / Vatican to refugees (reputable estimates put the number at 12,000 to 15,000 people there) and all warring parties were expressly aware of the extraterritory status of the site have been informed. The roofs were painted yellow and white, the Pope's colors. Nevertheless, there were two devastating bomb attacks there with over 500 deaths. There is currently an exhibition providing information about the time 80 years ago.

This large fountain is located in one of the main junctions of the trail system of the Colli Albani park. It is a seasonal source so the presence of water is not guaranteed all year round. It is a very suggestive place to immerse yourself in nature, despite being just a few steps from Via dei Laghi.
