COMUNE DI SERMONETA















This stands on a small hill and it is surrounded by olive groves, chestnut trees and, in the hihest part by beech woods. This is the most unspoilt and interesting mediaeval centre in the Lepini, with an urban structure contained entirely within the ring of walls. Of consid-erable interest is Caetani Castle, restored in the early 20th century by Gelsaio Caetani. Equally interesting are the Collegiata of St.Maria , situated at the centre of Sermoneta; the church of St.Giuseppe or of the Concezione di Maria, which houses a cycle of fres-coes by Siciolante; the church of the Annunziata (which houses the Museum Diocesano); the Loggia dei Mercanti (old Town Hall); the Annibaldi Gaeta; the church of the Madonna delle Grazie; the convent of St. Francesco, with a 500-hundred year-old ilex; the church of St.Michele Arcangelo and the former synagogue; the museum della Storia della Ceramica (Palazzo Caetani); the Gallery Abate Stanislao White (Abbey of Valvis-ciolo); the Museum C’era una volta (in Via Montanara). The mediaeval watchtowers are the lower down at Monticchio. Along the road running at the foot of the hill, towards Cori, is Ninfa, a former flourishing feudal village on the small lake supplied by the spring of the river of the same name. On the way to Bassiano is the Abbey of Valvisciolo, one of the finest examples of Cistercian-gothic architecture in Italy, together with Fossanova and Casamari. Sermoneta holds major national and international events such as the Pontine Chamber Music Festival and Music Course, as well as historic events such as the re-enactment of the Battle of Lepanto and more traditional rural ones suche as the polenta festival.
