Borgorose
The central Apennines define the setting of Borgorose — their ridges give this part of northeastern Lazio a strongly mountainous, open character. Monte Faito stands within the municipality above the Cicolano, a historic upland area of wooded slopes, pasture and dispersed settlements. The terrain descends toward Lago del Salto, the reservoir on the Salto River that is a major reference point in the surrounding valleys. Borgorose belongs to the Province of Rieti and is made up of several hamlets rather than one dense town centre. Corvaro, among the best known, has an archaeological area with evidence of ancient settlement. This is inland Lazio at a quieter, highland scale, shaped by the connection between mountain land, small communities and routes through the Apennines.

Few towns in Lazio have a history as closely tied to the 1915 Avezzano earthquake as Borgorose. The disaster devastated the settlement then known as Borgocollefegato, and reconstruction gave the modern centre much of its present form. Borgorose lies in the Salto Valley, in Lazio's Cicolano area, amid wooded Apennine slopes and scattered hamlets. Nearby Lago del Salto is a reservoir formed by damming the Salto River, adding a broad expanse of water to this inland mountain setting. The municipality also stands close to the Abruzzo border, in a part of central Italy shaped by valleys and routes through the Apennines.

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.
