Central Italy

Lazio

Where ancient Rome still shapes the present

At the heart of central Italy, Lazio is a region where myth, empire, and landscape intertwine. Once known as Latium, homeland of the ancient Latins, this land became the centre of the Roman Empire and the foundation of Western civilisation.

At its core lies Rome, the Eternal City — a place where over three thousand years of history coexist in extraordinary continuity. From the Colosseum and the Roman Forum to the underground catacombs and the grandeur of the Vatican Museums and St. Peter’s Basilica, every corner reveals a different layer of history.

Beyond Rome, Lazio offers elegant examples of imperial and Renaissance heritage such as Villa d’Este and Villa Adriana, alongside natural landscapes that range from the volcanic shores of Lake Bolsena to the wild beauty of the Pontine Islands and the mountain landscapes of Monte Terminillo. Lazio is a region where archaeology, nature, faith, and daily life still exist side by side — making it one of Italy’s most layered and fascinating destinations.
