Sezze: Via Anfiteatro
Few places in Lazio have a history as closely tied to the Volsci as Sezze. Known in antiquity as Setia, the town was a Volscian centre before becoming a Roman colony. Its old quarters occupy the slopes of the Lepini Mountains above the broad Pontine Plain, a lowland long shaped by farming and land-reclamation works. Via Anfiteatro belongs to this hill-town fabric of narrow streets and closely built homes. Sezze is also associated with artichokes, celebrated locally at the annual Sagra del Carciofo.

Few towns in Lazio have a history as closely tied to the Latin colony of Setia, founded in 382 BC, as Sezze. Set on the slopes of the Lepini Mountains above the Pontine Plain, the town marks the transition between inland hills and the lowlands leading toward the Tyrrhenian coast. Ancient Setia was celebrated for its wine by Roman writers, and its name remains central to Sezze’s identity. The old centre follows the hillside in a network of narrow streets and stone-built quarters, while the plain below connects it to southern Lazio’s agricultural landscape.

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.
