Soriano nel Cimino
Tucked into the wooded slopes of the Cimini Mountains, Soriano nel Cimino is a place whose character is shaped by the volcanic uplands of northern Lazio. Its compact historic centre climbs a hill beneath Castello Orsini, a medieval fortress that dominates the town. Soriano stands in the historic Tuscia region, between Viterbo and the Tiber valley, where the terrain opens from chestnut woodland to cultivated fields. Chestnuts are central to local identity and to the annual Sagra delle Castagne, while the Palio di San Rocco brings historical pageantry to the streets. Monte Cimino, the highest summit of the Cimini range, rises nearby and gives this settled part of Tuscia its strongly wooded setting.

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.

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.
