Our quintessential central region. It houses the capital, Rome, the political center of Italy. Lazio is a very varied territory with an extension that goes from Tuscany to Campania, from Umbria to Molise. Also in this case, as in the case of other Italian regions, the presence of a large metropolis tends to centralize all interests on it. A engulfing effect that takes attention away from simpler realities but of great vital importance for the history and economy of the territory.

Lazio is a region with a very long coastline that extends from Montalto di Castro to beyond Formia. Nature is one of the qualifying elements of this complex Italian region, rich in parks and small lakes, passes from the clay that stretch towards the Tuscan Maremma in the upper Viterbo area, up to the green lands covered with forests and coppice woods in the land bordering Umbria in the territory of Orte.

The Reatino deepens its extension to look at the Adriatic Sea in the Lioness Apennines, in the Amatriciano and in that land tormented by tectonic phenomena that caused the disastrous earthquake of 2016. The Simbruini Mountains Natural Park and the Abruzzo National Park create natural boundaries between the two small central regions up to Cassino. Further south c&' on the other hand, it is the Monti Aurunci park that extends towards the Campania border in Frusinate.

Rome represents the watershed between the north and the south of the region and seems naturally equidistant between Tuscany and Campania. Along its coasts, there are towns such as Tarquinia, Santa Marinella, Ladispoli, Fregene and the beaches of Ostiense, the very long coastline of Anzio up to Sabaudia and the promontory of Circeo. A long journey close to the waves until you reach the beautiful Gaeta and Formia from whose shores you can see the small islands of Ponza and Ventotene in the distance.

Lazio's lands are enormously rich in history: this is where Rome, one of the greatest modern civilizations, was born. The Romans developed right along the seven Capitoline hills and their history is embedded in that of other great civilizations such as that of the Etruscans and the first Italic peoples in the north and south of the peninsula. Rome becomes the center of the known world and represents the 'light' of humanity. But every village, every single piece of land in this region could be hidden and told in history books. Rome “caput mundi” represented the virtuous intertwining of peoples, millenary traditions, religions, and shared humanity that has conditioned even the simplest aspects of human life.

The Roman table has always been an open door to the then known world. Wines from Campania Felix and from eastern Georgian lands, citrus fruits from southernmost and eastern lands, fruits and vegetables from the Roman countryside, fish from the depths of the Mediterranean, game from Alpine and Apennine forests, exotic foods, Spanish oils, African dried fruit, persimmons from Tuscany, fatty cold cuts from the Po Valley, etc.

In all this flow of imperial delicacies, the people of Lazio, have nevertheless managed to impose their food excellence, typical products, flavors

A very important reality for the production of pasta filata cheeses such as Mozzarella di Bufalo Campana DOP, which finds extraordinary excellence in the province of Latina and Frusinate. The many types of cheese such as, for example, the Genazzano cheese, the Cacio Fiore, the Caciotta of the Laga mountains, the Pecorino Romano PDO.
