Discover Nemi – Holiday apartment in Nemi for culture and landscapes

If you are looking for a holiday apartment in Nemi, you will find a hamlet set on a hill, with a medieval atmosphere and houses built from local stone. Historic buildings, religious art and the surrounding mountain scenery give the village a distinctive character.

Nemi among mountain pastures and peaks

The most important mountain pastures in the Valfornace area include those around the settlements of Nemi and Taro. Near Nemi are Monte Aguzzo, as well as the peaks of Monte Val di Fibbia, Monte Cacamillo and Monte Pietralata.

Santa Maria Assunta away from the village

The Chiesa di Santa Maria Assunta stands in an isolated location away from the village of Nemi. Its façade dates back to the 14th century.

Works of art in the Chiesa di Santa Maria Assunta

The works of art in the Chiesa di Santa Maria Assunta also shape the area’s cultural focus. A fresco by Paolo da Visso depicts the Madonna of Loreto with Saints James the Greater, Anthony the Abbot and Sebastian. A triptych by Giovanni di Piermatteo Boccati shows the Madonna and Child, crowned by angels, between Saints Matthew and Priscus of Mirabella.

Also dating from the mid-15th century is the painted wooden panel “Madonna in trono con Bambino, San Matteo, San Prisco e angeli musicanti” by Giovanni Boccati; it comes from the Chiesa di Santa Maria Assunta in Nemi. The fresco, triptych and wooden panel bring together different forms of imagery and make the church a specific destination for travellers interested in culture.

Madonna del Soldato and regional museums

The Cappella della Madonna del Soldato can also be dated to the 15th century. The original Chiesa della Madonna del Soldato was demolished and rebuilt a short distance away as part of the adjoining monastery complex. The history of the village therefore includes not only the dating of the chapel but also the transformation of the religious building.

In the wider region around Nemi are the Pinacoteca Fortunato Duranti, the Museo Civico Archeologico “a. Gentiloni Silverj”, the Museo Archeologico “g. Moretti” and the Abbadia di Fiastra Raccolta Archeologica. All four are museums. If you choose a holiday apartment in Nemi, you can therefore extend your trip’s cultural focus beyond the church and chapel to other regional museums.

Holiday apartment in Nemi: culture and landscapes as travel ideas

This leaves room for days devoted to art and churches, as well as for a trip centred on the mountains and mountain pastures.
