Lazio is not just Rome: in the Tuscia, in the Ciociaria and among the Simbruini mountains lie almost deserted medieval villages, Etruscan necropolises, volcanic lakes and green valleys that mass tourism ignores. Uncrowded destinations where you can rediscover a slower pace, country cooking and surprising landscapes just a few kilometres from the capital, to be explored without the crush.
