Serrone: Via Monte Scalambra Alta

The landscape around Serrone is a steep, wooded stretch of the Monti Ernici, which has shaped both the compact hillside settlement and local farming. The town stands in Lazio’s inland Apennine foothills, above the agricultural country of the Sacco Valley and southeast of Rome. Its older quarters preserve the dense arrangement associated with medieval hill towns, while the surrounding area belongs to Cesanese wine country, linked to a red grape variety cultivated in this part of the region. Serrone provides a quieter perspective on Lazio beyond its major cities and coastal routes. Continue with other webcams from Lazio to see how the Monti Ernici foothills connect across central Italy.

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.
