The Lazio region
Lazio is the geographical divide between Italy's north and south ... northerners such as the Milanese would doubtless argue Rome is the capital of the south, while they are the capital of the north. But in truth it is a bridge between the two. Head north out of Lazio and you are in the lush central Italian region of Tuscany. Head south and you are in the sun-soaked region of Campania ... very much the Mezzogiorno. Lazio also shares its borders with Umbria to the north, Marche to the north east, Abruzzo to the east and Molise to the south east. To the east, this long narrow region is bordered by the Apennine mountains, to the west by a lengthy stretch of Tyrrhenian coastline and beaches.
Rome / Central Rome area
Of course it would be perverse for us to hold off the Eternal City for too long. This is a city that has captured the imagination of visitors for millennia rather than just centuries. It has a history that encompasses Classical antiquity, the heights of the Renaissance glory and the dolce vita image of post-War Italy. With its imperial grandeur it inspired that wannabe Emperor Mussolini. Il Duce tried to rebuild and remodel the capital in his own imperial image, with the hideous and grandiose building projects so typical of despotic leaders. But even Mussolini couldn't wreck the beautiful accretions of 3,000 years of history.
Anyone spending a vacation in Rome will be eagerly anticipating the Colosseum, the Forum, the Pantheon and the Vatican Museums. Rome, supposedly founded on the seven hills by brothers Romulus and Remus (the twins raised by a she-wolf), became the centre of the greatest imperial power in the Classical world. Rome's riches and power inevitably led to decadence, and thence invasion by the Huns and Goths. Rome was reborn again first as the centre of the Holy Roman Empire, when the Catholic Church took up the mantle of world leaders, a meeting of crucifix and sword. So it rose again as Caput Mundi, the capital of the world, being the home of the Church and the Popes.
Tivoli, an hour's drive east of Rome is famed for its quarries, which yielded much of the travertine marble that built the capital. It's a pretty town too, with fine Renaissance villas and landscaped gardens. Lido di Ostia meanwhile is Rome's main seaside resort, with Ostia Antica a Roman site well worth visiting for its excavations of the old port.
