Ronciglione

This modest town in the Cimini mountains of Lazio, Ronciglione sits on tuff scarps above Lake Vico, the crater lake of a former volcano, and holds membership in I Borghi più belli d'Italia — Italy's register of its most beautiful villages. The local economy runs on nuts, chestnuts, and wine, and the town supports a café and restaurant scene that outpunches its size. UNESCO World Heritage sites lie within the wider region.
