LORENZA BONACCORSI,
Councillor for Tourism and Equal
Opportunities of the Lazio Region
"Lazio, ‘the region of wonders’, is most
probably the area with the highest
concentration of historical, archaeological
and artistic wonders, and most ancient
and undisputed cultural history in the world.
A TOUR OF
LAZIO
--
The Lazio region is also a land that
provides an authentic gastronomic
offering and a wide range of Italian wines.
Alongside its variety of genuine local
products, the region’s traditional
and innovative dishes differ from village
to village – each of whom offer visitors
a glimpse of the real Italian palate.
From its mountains to its lakes
and sea, and encompassing Rome
and its communes, Lazio is a land
that conquers and excites. Relive history
in perched villages, or embrace the warm
and crystalline sea or volcanic lakes;
wander through the magnificent piazzas,
which come alive during the region’s sagre
(traditional festivals) throughout the year;
visit medieval abbeys and ancient Roman
villas, or ornately painted Renaissance
mansions and castles; and discover
the five UNESCO sites and candidate sites,
such as the village of Civita di Bagnoregio,
and the Benedictine monasteries
of Subiaco, Farfa and Montecassino.
Whether for a weekend or a long-term
sojourn, Lazio offers new adventures
in exploring, discovering and savouring
the wonders of history, nature and beauty."
Our travel guide to the Lazian treasure trove will
help you narrow in on main attractions, but also
to plan an ‘outside-the-box’ itinerary to make your
trip to Lazio completely unforgettable!
