Latina

Built around the reclamation of the Pontine Marshes, Latina grew into a planned provincial capital in southern Lazio. Founded in 1932 as Littoria during the Fascist-era drainage campaign, it was renamed Latina after World War II; broad streets and Rationalist public buildings still reflect that origin. Piazza del Popolo forms the civic centre, with the Torre Civica rising above it. The city occupies the Pontine Plain between the Tyrrhenian coast and the Lepini Mountains, a setting unlike the hill towns often associated with inland Lazio. Markets, cafés and everyday urban life give the centre a lived-in rhythm, while the surrounding plain recalls a major 20th-century land-reclamation project.
