Few towns in Lazio have a history as closely tied to an earthquake as Camerata Nuova. The present settlement was established after the 1859 earthquake destroyed nearby Camerata Vecchia, whose stone ruins still stand in the Simbruini Mountains. Set within the Monti Simbruini Regional Natural Park, the town belongs to a rugged upland area of eastern Lazio, close to the Abruzzo border and marked by wooded slopes and limestone terrain. Camerata Nuova is therefore both a living community and a reminder of how its residents rebuilt after disaster.
