Anzio

Anzio straddles the Tyrrhenian coastline in Lazio, and its working harbour has shaped the town’s identity from the era of ancient Antium to the present. The seafront preserves archaeological remains associated with Emperor Nero’s coastal villa, recalling when Antium was a favoured Roman retreat. Anzio is also inseparable from the Allied landing of 22 January 1944, which opened the Anzio beachhead during the Italian campaign; the town’s wartime legacy is recorded at the Anzio BeachHead Museum. Fishing boats, ferries and seafood restaurants keep the port central to daily life, while sandy stretches follow this section of the Lazio shore.
