Capodimonte

Few cities in Lazio have a history as closely tied to the Farnese family as Capodimonte. Set on the south-western shore of Lake Bolsena, the town looks across Italy’s largest volcanic lake, formed within an ancient caldera. The rectangular Palazzo Farnese, begun in the 16th century for the family, remains Capodimonte’s defining monument, while narrow streets descend towards the harbour and lakeside promenade. The water shapes daily life here: fishing, boating and summer bathing share the shore with views towards Bisentina and Martana, Lake Bolsena’s two islands.
