Albano Mountains - Colli Albani

Japanese: アルバノ山地 - アルバノさんち(英語表記)Colli Albani
Albano Mountains - Colli Albani
A mountain range located in central Italy, about 20 km southeast of Rome. It is made up of volcanic rocks that erupted from the Tertiary to the beginning of the Quaternary Period, and has two caldera lakes, Lake Albano and Lake Nemi. The highest peak is Mount Cabo (942 m), which is a radio station. It is close to Rome, blessed with beautiful scenery, and offers an escape from the summer heat, so it has been known as a villa destination for the aristocracy and wealthy since ancient Rome, and is still a popular resort for Roman citizens today. It is also famous for its grapes. The series of settlements on the hills of the Albano Mountains are called the Castelli Romani, and one of them, Castel Gandolfo, is home to the Pope's summer villa.
