In this section you will find the information you need to plan your journey to discover the Roman countryside and its traditions, a beautiful area which is often not very well known even by its own inhabitants.

From north to south, from the coast to the mountains, there is something for everyone: nature, art and itineraries combine the pleasure of good food to a plunge into history. By following the routes of the ancient consular roads, visitors will be able to discover an architectural heritage which goes hand in hand with an age-old culinary tradition and a great variety of local products. One of the characteristics of this area is that it preserves traces of diverse historical eras: Roman ruins alternate with typically medieval small towns, baroque churches stand next to examples of 18th century architecture. An example of this is the Castelli Romani region where each town, from Ariccia to Frascati, preserves to this day at least one palace which belonged to noble Roman families.

Traces of diverse historical eras
