Lazio, Administrative region in central Italy
The region encompasses 17,242 square kilometers of diverse landscapes, including mountains, coastal areas, and fertile plains between the Tyrrhenian Sea and Apennine Mountains.
Lazio served as the epicenter of the Roman Republic and Empire, with Rome as its capital, shaping Mediterranean civilization through political, military, and cultural dominance.
The region contains numerous archaeological parks, medieval towns, Renaissance palaces, and religious centers, including the Vatican City, an independent state within Rome.
Five provinces compose the region: Metropolitan City of Rome, Frosinone, Latina, Rieti, and Viterbo, each offering distinct travel experiences and accommodation options.
The region produces specific agricultural products, including Latina kiwis, Tuscania olive oil, and Frascati wine, contributing to Italy's culinary heritage.
