Lazio Travel tourism

Lazio is an administrative region of central Italy with the capital Rome.
It is bordered to the north-west of Tuscany, north of Umbria, north-east by the Marches, on the east by the Abruzzi and Molise, south-east of Campania, south-west by the Tyrrhenian Sea and inside the Vatican City.
The Lazio region of central Italy, is situated on the Tyrrhenian side and occupies 17,203 sq km of the Italian territory, estendenosi from the Apennines to the Tyrrhenian Sea.
Its territory has no physical homogeneity, indeed one might say that is characterized by its heterogeneity, it is still a territory prevalentenza mountainous and hilly, whose plains are found near the coast.
Starting from the north west of the region, there are three distinct mountain groups of modest size: the Volsino, the Monti Cimini and Monti Sabatini. Common characteristic of these mountain ranges is their volcanic origin, as demonstrated not only by geological factors, the presence in each of these, a lake, Lake Bolsena on Volsini, Lake Vico and Cimini on Lake Bracciano on Sabatini.
These mountain ranges sloping gently down to the Maremma plain to the west and toward the Tiber valley to the east, the two most northern plains of Lazio. Maremma here finds its southern limit in the Tolfa.
In the eastern part of Ontario are the highest points of the region, reaching 2458 meters with of Gorzano their highest point. This, this, a small portion of the Apennines, which runs diagonally from north to south. Here are the mountain groups Reatini Monti, Monti Sabini, Monti and Monti Simbruini Ernici.
In southern Ontario average, starting from the Alban Hills, we find a number of other mountain ranges, running parallel to the Apennines, which are separated from the valley of Ciociaria flowing with Sacco and Liri, which ended its run in the Tyrrhenian near the border with Campania, these are the Lepine Mountains, Monti and Monti Ausoni Aurunci.
Even the Colli Albani hills of modest size, are of volcanic origin, and even here the volcanic lakes are numerous lakes Albano and Nemi, now drained lake basins and ponds Ariccia fossils Juturna (in the Roman Forum at the Temple of Vesta), Valle Marciana (Grottaferrata) and to the north of Pantano Secco (Monte Compatri), Monte Porzio (Tusculum) and Castiglione (or lake Gabii).
The Rome area is occupied dall'Agro Romano continues to the south, always following the coastline, in the Agro Pontino, who made up the reclamation from 1930 to 1940, was covered by marshes.
The coast of Lazio is very regular, low and sandy, but despite this there are the "projections", as the Chief Linaro south of Civitavecchia, the mouth of the Tiber River between the towns of Rome and Fiumicino Airport, south of the river are in the succession Promontory Anzio and Nettuno, Monte Circeo, which stands isolated between sea and land, and the promontory of Gaeta, near the border with Campania.
Gaeta is located right in front of the Pontine Archipelago, composed of six small islands, all of volcanic origin.
The Tiber River is the largest of the region, there comes from Umbria, first with a trend toward the southeast, but then bends toward the southwest, crossing all the agro romano to the sea.
The main tributaries of the Tiber and the Paglia are Treia, the right side, and the Black and Aniene the left side.
Further south, with a trend reminiscent of the Tiber, we find the Sacco and Liri, while in the northern part of the region are other smaller rivers like the Fiora, Marta and the Arrone, which descend directly to the sea with a relatively course short.
