Ronciglione occupies a volcanic-tuff ridge in the Cimini Mountains of northern Lazio. Lake Vico, a crater lake encircled by wooded slopes, lies nearby and shapes the character of this inland part of the region. The town’s historic centre follows the ridge above the Vicano valley, with medieval streets and the remains of its fortified castle. Ronciglione is particularly known for its Carnival, when the traditional corse dei barberi—riderless horse races—bring a long-standing local custom into the streets. The historic Via Cassia also connects the town with Rome and Viterbo. Browse other webcams across Lazio to place this setting in a wider geographic context.
