Rome, the eternal city and home to the Vatican,
is also the centrepiece of the Lazio region.
Venture through the Roman Forum where great
Emperors once stood. Take your mind back to
ancient times and listen to the chant of the crowd as
they cheer on a Gladiator fight in the Colosseum. After
hours of marvelling at the Sistine Chapel and architecture
built over 2000 years ago, take a well needed rest
on the Spanish Steps, the meeting place for most Italian
lovers. Dine on the traditional local dishes of porchetta
and spaghetti alla carbonara and compliment your meal
with the sweet aromatic taste of Frascati wine. Then,
throw a coin over your left shoulder into the Trevi fountain
so you will be sure to return to the Eternal city again.
Lazio is located between the Apennine Mountains and the Tyrrhenian Sea and its countryside is laden with fertile landscape, wood lands, and idyllic lakes. So, outside the pulse of Rome, you can experience the tranquillity of the gardens and fountains of Villa D’Este and other villas that served as country retreats for the upper echelons of Roman society. Or venture out to the main villages of the mysterious Etruscans (Italy’s oldest known settlers).
Rome and the Lazio region will overwhelm your senses in every way.
Your Friend In Italy will help you indulge all of your senses. We invite you to experience the true heart of Italy with us.
