Il meglio del Lazio

Lazio Essentials

Lazio’s historical depth spans from the pre-Roman Etruscan necropolises of Tarquinia to the coastal biodiversity of Circeo National Park. In Tivoli, the UNESCO-listed Villa d’Este showcases Renaissance hydraulic engineering, while Hadrian’s Villa preserves the scale of imperial Roman retreats. Rome’s cultural core is represented by the Caravaggio-adorned Church of Saint Louis the French and the subterranean layers of the Basilica of St. Clement. Beyond the city, the Benedictine foundations at Montecassino and Subiaco offer spiritual heritage, complemented by the botanical ruins of the Garden of Ninfa.
