Nemi is a tiny village (population 2,000) perched on the rim of a volcanic crater lake in the Castelli Romani. It's famous for three things: wild strawberries (fragoline di bosco) served in every possible form, the Museo delle Navi Romane (where Caligula's pleasure barges were recovered from the lake), and a Sunday afternoon passeggiata that feels like stepping back 50 years.
