Why Visit Latium?

 

Latium is an Italian region in the center of the country. The main city of this region is Rome, which is the capital of the country and served as the center of the ancient Roman Empire.

This territory is bordered to the north by Tuscany and Umbria, to the south by Campania, to the southeast by Molise, to the east by Marche and Abruzzo, and to the west by the Tyrrhenian Sea, the name given to the part of the Mediterranean Sea that borders the western Italian peninsula. .

The geography of this region is very varied, as there you will find mountains, plains, hills, rivers, sea coasts and many protected natural areas, such as the Abruzzo National Park or the Tor Caldara Regional Nature Reserve.

In turn, Lazio stands out for its rich cultural heritage, because there you will find art, history, architecture, archaeological jewels and incredible sites if religious tourism catches your eye. This is so because Lazio was the cradle of the ancient Roman civilization.

 

History of Latium

 

The territory of Latium was occupied by different Italic peoples: the Etruscans north of the Tiber River, the Latins in the central part of the region, the Faliscans between the Etruscans and the Latins, the Hernics and Aequis to the south, the Sabines to the east, and the Auruncans. and Volscians on the southern coast.

During periods of expansion, Rome and the Latins had to ally with neighboring peoples to survive, hence the name Lazio, which derives from the old name Latium given by the Latins, so called because they were located in a "latus" territory, wide in Latin.

During the Roman imperial era, Lazio remained in a situation of general tranquility, interrupted only by episodic internecine wars for the conquest of the imperial purple. However, its central role was left somewhat marginal during the late empire.

This was the case until the deposition of the last Western emperor, Romulus Augustulus, in the year 476, by Odoacer, king of the Heruli.

 

How is the culture in Latium

 

Traditional Latium Food and Drink

 

Latium is a region with an exquisite gastronomic offer, ideal for the most demanding palates, since its typical Roman cuisine will transport you to the times when Rome warmly received pilgrims, who came in search of a spiritual connection, contenting their hearts from of good food.

A traditional dish that we recommend you try is Carciofi alla giudia, a recipe made from fried Roma artichokes. Also, we encourage you to try Trippa alla romana, a dish of beef tripe with tomato sauce, pecorino cheese and sautéed celery, onion and carrot. And, of course, try their pastas, because they are all delicious.

As for the drink, you must try Sambuca, typical liquor from the area very similar to Anís.

And if you are a lover of sweets, try Pangiallo, a type of roll made with flour, nuts, caramelized fruit and chocolate, colored and saffron.

You know, visit Italian Lazio and experience Il buon mangiare!

 

The Archaeological Riches of Latium

 

Given Lazio's rich history, this region contains fascinating archaeological treasures that you cannot miss during your visit. Here we mention some of the most iconic.

  1. Roman Colosseum, an immense amphitheater where the famous gladiator fights took place, from which you can see the ruins of what was an incredible architecture, with different levels and hidden passageways to include animals in the show and even fill the stage with water to recreate sea battles! A true jewel that will allow you to learn about Roman history and be amazed.
  2. The old port of Ostia, located on the coast, has very detailed mosaics and even a theater.
  3. The Trevi Fountain, one of the largest monumental Baroque fountains in Rome thanks to its nearly 40-meter frontage.

 

Natural Wealth: The Apennine Mountains

 

Inland from the Latium region lie the lush Apennine Mountains. These are mountains covered mostly with forests, with the exception of one of the faces of the highest peak, the 2914-meter Gran Sasso d'Italia, which is partially covered by what is the southernmost glacier in Europe since it the Veleta glacier melted.

In turn, in the Apennines are nature reserves, fairy tale lakes and fascinating stone-built villages.

It is possible to classify the Apennines into three large groups: the northern Apennines, the chain that is linked to the western Alps, in which you will find that the mountains are made up of clay and sandstone; the central Apennines that are made of limestone and descend slightly in height towards the two seas; and The southern Apennines whose composition is schist and crystalline rocks.

If you travel to the Lazio region, this natural treasure will undoubtedly conquer you.

 

What to Give If You Travel to Latium

 

The Latium region is characterized by its historical treasures, its incredible landscapes and above all, good food. That is why if you are planning a trip to Lazio and would like to bring a gift to a loved one, great options are their homemade pasta, liqueurs and ground coffee. In this way, your guest will be able to experience the delicious Italian gastronomy from their own home.

If, on the contrary, you are looking for a more lasting gift, then do not hesitate to give Art. Whether you buy the work of a local artist or you have to adapt the intention to a more moderate budget with some standard sculpture, you will not regret it, because either way you will be carrying some of the beauty of Latium in your suitcase.

 

Talking with Hands During Your Trip to Latium

 

If you are planning a trip to the Italian region of Lazio and you are worried about how to communicate, let go of any fear right now, because first of all, its inhabitants are very friendly and will do their best to understand you and make them understood.

Secondly, the Italian idiosyncrasy means that Italian is not their only language; you will see that Italians use a rich language of gestures. This is why you will notice that people not only speak with their words but also express themselves by making gestures with their hands at the same time.

While some argue that this non-verbal communication developed during the centuries when Italy lived under foreign occupation by Austria, France and Spain, as a way of communicating with each other without sharing information with the occupiers. Others consider that this custom began when the merchants had to carry out their transactions with speakers of these languages.

Whatever the case, the result is a series of signs that represent much of the Italian cultural heritage itself and are very graphic and easy to learn.

 

What to See and Do in Latium

 

The Latium region stands out for its great cultural richness, with historical architecture, archaeological treasures and a great artistic profusion and a beautiful natural heritage. For this reason, this region is one of the most chosen for curious travelers who like both learning about the past and outdoor adventures.

Some of the highlights of this region are Rome and the Amalfi Coast, so you will find these destinations in several of our offers.
