LAZIO, A HIDDEN CHARM
Legend recalls that its name derives from “Latium,” meaning refuge, because the god Saturn, having been ousted by Jupiter, sought refuge there. To this day, this region is hospitable and worth exploring, beginning in Rome, and not forgetting the beauty that surrounds it too. The Eternal City is a must see during your trip to Italy. Rome is a thousand cities in one: imperial, papal, baroque, aristocratic, and familiar. It is a self-contained universe of history, art, beauty, and “dolce vita,” you can never get enough. You just have to venture beyond the city’s historic walls to discover a region that is not only pure beauty, but a constellation of historical and cultural gems. Green, luxurious, and hilly in the North; barren and rugged in the South. Majestic volcanic lakes, sandy beaches, all on the backdrop of the Apennine peaks: the countryside is mesmerizing and has developed its own architecture over the centuries. From its imperial villas and Renaissance palaces to its hillside suburbs where to fall in love with views of Rome. Let us not forget the food, made up of robust flavors with simple and genuine simplicity. Gnocchi, spaghetti carbonara or Amatriciana, lamb, tripe, saltimbocca, roman-style artichokes, roast pork, black olives, olive oil, chestnuts, and of course wine from the Castelli Romani. This Gastronomy is a voyage of discovery.
