Lazio

Overview

Lazio is dominated by Rome, the Eternal City, where nearly 3,000 years of history pile atop each other in glorious chaos. But beyond the capital lies a region of volcanic lakes, Etruscan tombs, and medieval hill towns that few tourists discover. The cuisine is robust and Roman with signatures like cacio e pepe, carbonara, and carciofi alla giudia. From the Renaissance gardens of Tivoli to the wild beaches of the Pontine Islands, Lazio rewards those who venture beyond the Colosseum.
