500 YEARS OF HISTORY
Located in the square in the historic center of Bolsena, 550 meters from the lake, the VesConte is a period residence located in the historic 16th century palace of the Counts Cozza Caposavi and over the centuries has hosted various members of the European royal families, two Popes, and among the most important writers and cinema characters passing through northern Lazio.
The position, on the ancient via francigena and the imperial road Cassia, made Bolsena an obligatory stop for travelers between Tuscany, Umbria and Lazio.
Traveling along the ancient road that connects Orvieto with the Cassia through the Umbrian countryside, you come across the impressive size of an enormous volcanic basin where - in the Paleolithic period - a wonderful lake was formed, surrounded by green hills.north of the lake is the city of Bolsena from which the lake also takes its name.
This suggestive and charming medieval village influenced by Etruscan and then Roman settlements, began to grow in the XIII century and remained an area of strategic and commercial importance for over 400 years.
