In Lazio, tracing the Etruscans
Long before the creation of the Roman empire, the regions of Tuscany, Umbria and Lazio were populated by the Etruscans. It was this early, yet highly developed, civilisation which built the cities of Cerveteri, Tarquinia and Vulci. Today, thousands of years after the first stones were laid, visitors to central Italy can still admire the impressive architectural feats computed by the Etruscans, in a number of sites, each of which...
Divine revelations
Just because they have left Rome, and the splendor of the Italian capital, behind them, visitors should not think that the beauty of Lazio has ended. They need only follow the Via Tiburtina to discover countless traces of the Imperial City, as they travel along the road which leads to the ancient city of Tibur, modern day Tivoli. Famous since Ancient Roman times because of its strategic position on the Tiburtini hills, traversed by...

These immense basins of crystal clear water are also...
Circeo and the Pontine islands
The stretch of coast which from Gaeta leads to Anzio is not only one of the most beautiful in the whole of Italy. The Circeo is also a promontory which, from the sea, appears before the visitor just like an island. Above all, it is the National Park of the Circeo, the biodiversity of which makes it quite unique. The Park extends over some 8.500 hectares of woods, lakes, islands and coast: from Sabaudia to San Felice al Circeo, from...
Castelli Romani
The hills immediately southeast of Rome are famous for their clean air, mild climate, lakes, woods and breathtaking views of Italy's capital city. From Rome, it is sufficient to travel a mere twenty kilometers to reach the first of sixteen towns, collectively referred to as the Castelli Romani, a name inspired by the ancient royal residences which dominate these splendid little towns and which, since ancient times, provided sumptuous...
