Lazio
The Heart of Ancient Rome
Lazio, home to the Italian capital of Rome, is steeped in history and culture. Rome itself boasts iconic landmarks like the Colosseum, Vatican City, and the Roman Forum. Beyond the capital, Lazio offers rolling hills, ancient ruins, and beautiful coastlines. The region is also known for its culinary delights, including Roman dishes like carbonara, cacio e pepe, and artichokes alla Romana. Lazio’s countryside is dotted with medieval towns such as Tivoli and Viterbo, and the volcanic lakes of Bracciano and Bolsena provide picturesque getaways.
