Lazio is the cradle of Western civilization, a region dominated by the monumental presence of Rome, its capital and an inexhaustible treasure of art, history and spirituality. Here, more than two millennia of history overlap into a unique urban landscape, from the majestic ruins of the Roman Empire to the baroque opulence of its squares and the dome of St. Peter's that dominates the skyline. But Latium is much more than Rome. It is a land of diverse landscapes: from the volcanic lakes of Castelli Romani and Bolsena, to the Etruscan necropolises of Cerveteri and Tarquinia that whisper stories of a mysterious civilization. It includes medieval villages perched on hills, the Renaissance villas of Tivoli, and a coast with beaches such as those of Sperlonga. Traveling through Lazio is walking through history, feeling the power of an empire, marveling at artistic genius and savoring cuisine with direct and memorable flavors.
