The Lazio region


Bracciano is a small medieval town famous for it’s majestic well preserved castle approximately 30 km northwest of Rome situated in beautiful panoramic countryside. The town is built upon the shore of Lake Bracciano, the 2nd largest lake in Lazio after Lake Bolsena and the eighth largest in Italy. Bracciano is well connected to Rome by train on the FM3 line that stops directly at both of the cities Metro ( underground ) lines A & B, Trastevere, and Saint Peters.
The area around lake Bracciano has been inhabited since Etruscan times and the actual origins of Bracciano are inconclusive, the town probably evolved around what was one of the main strategic towers built in the 10th century to repel Saracen attacks. In the 11th century the Prefetti di Vico family turned the tower into a small fortress. Control of the town and surrounding area was acquired by the Orsini family in 1234 and later became a Papal possession. It was the Orsini family who regained possession of the area and decided to enlarge the existing fortress into what would become one of Italy’s most important castles. The work lasted 15 years from 1470 until 1485. In the 16th century the town flourished on the back of it’s iron and sulphur industry and the production of tapestries and paper, however after the economic demise of the Orsini family the castle was sold to Livio Odescalchi a nephew of the Pope in 1696. The Odescalchi family still retain ownership of the castle today which is open to the public for tours where you can see it’s famous frescos, paintings and old period furnishings. The castle is also used for classical concerts and weddings of which the most famous recently was that of Tom Cruise to Katie Holmes in a star studded wedding reception in November 2006.
Lake Bracciano originally known as ‘Sabatino’ is a volcanic lake formed by the collapse of a magma chamber some 40,000 years ago. The lakes has a perimeter of approx 33 km, surface area of approx 57 square km and it’s deepest point is 165 meters. The lake’s main outlet is the Annone River, near Anguillara and the Paulus aqueduct built in the late 1600’s by Pope Paul V to provide the Vatican with fresh water and which still supplies the fountains of St Peters to this day. The water level of the lake is also regulated and kept at a constant level by a sluice built in the late 1700’s. The water of the lake is one of the cleanest in Italy and is an emergency reservoir for Rome. Accept for the local authorities and a small number of fishermen who supply the local restaurants the use of motor boats is forbidden, there is also strict control of the use of pesticides making the water very natural and clean. The crystal clear, clean water also make the lake popular for swimming and other water sports such as sailing, canoeing and windsurfing. Pedal boats and rowing boats are also available to rent and are very popular. There is also a ferry which goes around the lake from Bracciano to the other two historic and characteristic towns: Anguillara and Trevigniano which both like Bracciano have their own historic centres and distinguishing characteristics.
