The Colli Albani (English: Alban Hills) was a region of volcanic hills located south of the city of Rome, Italy.
These volcanic hills stand 20 kilometres southeast of Rome. The dominant peak, Monte Cavo, has two small calderas, both containing lakes, one of which is called Lago di Nemi. The summit was often the site for celebrations by Roman generals after victories during the era when it was illegal for them to do so in Rome.
History
By the early 1500s, Cesare Borgia had established a weapons factory in the area, manufacturing chariot-mounted machine guns designed by Leonardo da Vinci. In 1502, the Assassin Ezio Auditore da Firenzebroke into the factory, burning the machine's plans and destroying the two prototype machines.
