Lazio is a famous region of Central Italy, having hosted two of the most important historic civilities: The Romans and the fascinating Etruscans. The best expression of Roman civilization is founded in Rome, Capital of Italy, a city full of ancient buildings, Renaissance squares, museums, piazzas, fountains, baroque churches, monuments and remains of this courageous people, attracting visitors from all over the world.
Treasures reminding us of the presence of the Etruscans are strewn all over the north of the region, where it's possible to admire the masterpieces of Etruscan art in numerous places, like as Tarquinia, Viterbo, Castro, Ferento, Vulci, Bolsena, Tuscania and many more.
The landscape, consisting of cultivated vineyards and olive groves, slopes down softly from the hillocks, which are covered with chestnuts, oaks, beeches and hornbeams, to the Thirrenian sea coast.
This mysterious area, to be discovered day after day, take back the visitor back to the past, in an impressive trip between medieval fortresses, ruins, necropolises and Etruscan cities. The hill towns of Lazio are unique and pretty—even surprising. And close to Roma, visit the Alban Hills, known as the “Castelli Romani”. Not to miss are the Lakes of Bolsena, Vico, Bracciano, and Albano.
