| South of Rome is Ninfa, a medieval village abandoned to malaria and time for hundreds of years, which was resurrected as a romantic garden swooning with roses and calla lilies and irises in the late 19th-century. Near Anzio and the sea, Lavinia Taverna created an inspired and inspiring 20th-century garden in an olive grove at La Landriana. Castel Gandolfo is one of the Castelli Romani situated in the Alban Hills, about 45 minutes southwest of Rome, long the site of villas and palaces built as retreats from the heat of Rome's summers. The hills are covered with vineyards which produce many more than respectable vintages as well as excellent olive oils. Castel Gandolfo itself is a picturesque hideaway overlooking Lake Albano, now perhaps best known as the summer residence of the Popes. |
