The Lazio region
Bordered by the Apennine Mountains to the east and the Tyrrhenian coast to the west, Lazio is filled with woods and pastures, hills and valleys, rivers and lakes, and as many as twenty-five nature parks and reserves. Much of Lazio’s landscape was formed by the eruption of four volcanoes that showered the area with lava. Lakes formed in the craters, and the soil, rendered fertile by the lava, nourished vines, olives, fruit, and nut trees. The volcanic activity also left Lazio with hot springs, notably around Tivoli, Viterbo, and the world-class spa town, Fiuggi.
An interesting and evocative region, you’ll discover volcanic lakes and hills, ruins, Rome (Roma), Vatican City, castles, Etruscan towns, tombs, and ruins, and much more. Each corner of Lazio is a milestone of history. Monuments, consular roads, aqueducts, imperial villas on various promontories or half-submerged in the sea are testimony of its past. Thousands of years of civilization make this region an incredible mantle of history.
Lazio is the centre of Italy because Roma, the Eternal City, is the capital of Italy attracting visitors from all over the world to see its Roman ruins, Renaissance squares, museums, piazzas, fountains, and baroque churches. At one time, Roma was the capital of the largest empires in the history of the world. It was said that the empire of Roma was so large, that the sun never set on this empire because it stretched from Europe all the way through Persia, Asia, Africa, and beyond!
North of the Roma is the former homeland of the mysterious Etruscans, whose spiritual depth is revealed in their fine and evocative necropolis. Visit the Vulci ruins where you can view the best examples of Etruscan bronzes. You’ll want to visit Tarquinia, whose archeological museum is second to none. The entire life span of the Etruscans is represented in the frescoes of the most splendid necropolis this mysterious people ever built. Or, explore their stone tumuli, usually located in idyllic forests or deserted valleys.
The hill towns of Lazio are unique and pretty—even surprising. And close to Roma, visit the Alban Hills, known as the “Castelli Romani”—very chic, lush countryside, perfect! Not to miss are the Lakes of Bolsena, Vico, Bracciano, and Albano; or, you may choose to visit one of Italy’s most glittering undiscovered gems, Ponza and the Pontine Isles.
Rome / Central Rome area
Campo de’ Fiori Market (Field of flowe' Market) Located in the heart of the old city, Roma’s most picturesque market is also its most historical. A market has been held in this beautiful piazza for many centuries. Despite its name, which would lead you to expect a flower market, the name derives from Campus Florae (Flora’s square)—Flora was the lover of the great Roman general Pompey. Every morning except Sunday, you can purchase fruit, vegetables, meat, poultry and fish. There are also flower stalls near the fountain. The excellent delicatessens on the square and bread shops nearby complement the market.
Porta Portese Market Visit Trastevere’s Sunday morning flea market where you can purchase anything from antiques to art.
Antique Fair (Fiera dell’Antiquariato) Antique fairs that take place in the Via dei Coronari; the first starts in the second half of May and the second occurs in mid-October or late September. It’s memorable at night when lighted torches line the carpeted street. Look for leatherwork, jewellery, and other gifts.
Via Margutta Art Fair Usually takes place around Christmas and in the spring, and is set in one of the most charming and exclusive streets in Rome (Roma).
Christmas Fair A traditional Christmas Fair held in Piazza Navona from mid-December until January 6 with stalls selling clay statues for nativity scenes and sweets that look like pieces of coal.
Via Giulia Hosts art fairs occasionally and is open evenings when the antique and art galleries stay open late and also offer food and wine to all visitors.
