Sabaudia, Coastal commune in Province of Latina, Italy
Description
Sabaudia is a coastal town in the Province of Latina that sits between the sea and several lagoons, surrounded by agricultural land. Streets follow a regular grid, with low white buildings and a tall town hall tower shaping the central square.
History
The town was founded in 1933 as part of the drainage of the Pontine Marshes, which had been plagued by malaria and considered uninhabitable. Within a few months, an entirely new settlement emerged with planned streets and agricultural plots for resettlement.
Culture
Piazza del Comune forms the town center and reflects its early twentieth-century planning, with the town hall and church creating a unified composition across the open square. The name refers to the Italian royal house of Savoy and recalls the political symbolism tied to its founding.
Practical
Visitors arrive by road from Rome or by regional train to Priverno-Fossanova station, where local buses provide onward connections. Summer brings crowds to the beaches, while cooler months offer quieter conditions for walks along the shore.
Did you know?
Wide sandy beaches with wooden boardwalks stretch for more than a dozen kilometers between the Circeo National Park and Lago di Sabaudia. The lake itself is a coastal lagoon with brackish water, separated from the shoreline by a narrow belt of dunes.
