About the Region
Lazio is a region that’s as diverse in its landscapes as it is in its history. It's home to Rome, the Eternal City, where ancient ruins collide with modern energy. The region boasts volcanic lakes like Bracciano and Bolsena, rolling hills, and the striking Aurunci Mountains, all offering a backdrop as legendary as its history, from the Etruscans to the Papal States. The Tuscia area even snags UNESCO World Heritage status, giving visitors yet another reason to explore beyond the tourist-heavy capital.
Lazio’s food scene is no less iconic. Roman classics like pasta all'amatriciana, cacio e pepe, and gnocchi alla Romana dominate the plate, while regional treasures like Gaeta olive oil and Frascati wines bring extra flair to the table. Carciofi alla Giudia, a crispy homage to the city’s Jewish heritage, adds to the city’s must-eat list. Subiaco’s rugged terrain invites adventure lovers to hike and climb, making Lazio the perfect mix of culinary and natural wonder.
