Nettuno
Nettuno straddles the Tyrrhenian shoreline in Lazio, a position that has long tied the town to fishing, boating and the wider Roman coast. The waterfront is centred on a busy marina, where closely arranged berths and quays meet a densely built shoreline. Behind the harbour stands the Borgo Medievale, Nettuno’s compact old quarter, enclosed by defensive walls and narrow lanes. Its key monument is Forte Sangallo, commissioned by Pope Alexander VI at the end of the 15th century. South of Rome, between the Alban Hills hinterland and the Tyrrhenian Sea, Nettuno has retained a strongly maritime character while serving as a local port and resort town.

Nettuno is best known in Lazio for its walled medieval Borgo, a historic quarter beside the Tyrrhenian Sea. The old centre retains a compact network of lanes, small squares and older houses, while the modern town extends along the coast south of Rome. Nettuno’s harbour remains central to local life, with fishing and pleasure boats connecting the waterfront to the town centre. Inland, the Sicily–Rome American Cemetery and Memorial commemorates American servicemembers who died in the Italian campaign of the Second World War. Baseball also has a strong local following: Nettuno has long been one of Italy’s recognised centres for the sport.

Lazio combines the energy of Italy’s capital with broad rural and mountain districts in a way that reflects its position between the Tyrrhenian coast and the central Apennines. Rome is its defining centre: the Roman Forum, Colosseum and Vatican City place the region at the core of European history, while the Tiber runs through the city on its course to the sea. Beyond Rome, the Lazio shoreline, volcanic lakes and hill towns give the region a varied geography. Ancient Ostia preserves remains of Rome’s harbour town at the mouth of the Tiber.

Among the countries of southern Europe, Italy stands out for its Mediterranean coastline and cities marked by the legacy of ancient Rome. The Alps form its northern frontier, while the Apennines run down the peninsula and the Po crosses the broad plain of the north. Rome’s Colosseum and Roman Forum recall the ancient empire; Florence is closely associated with the Renaissance, and Venice is built across a lagoon on the Adriatic. Food changes markedly between regions, from olive-oil cooking in the south to rice dishes in the Po Valley. Sicily and Sardinia add distinct island identities to a country whose regions retain strong local character.
