Introduction - Ciao Tutti From South Lazio

Welcome  and lovely to hear from someone who lives in an area we would like to know better - your webpage looked really great and if we can contribute in any way, do let me know. We are fauther North, in Provinicia di Roma, Genzano i.e. the Colli Albani and unfortunately we have to keep popping back to the UK to earn a crust. We are though quite familiar with Aprilia, Latina, Anzio, Nettuno  Sabaudia and Ponza (though before it became so famous) we always recommend friends go down to Circeo or further (I love Terracina) to appreciate the beaches.

Do try to venture a little further south, towards Sperlonga / Gaeta, and not forgetting Bella Itri, even further south, to Formia, Maranola, Minturno etc.This area is still largely a hidden gem to foreign visitors, but has so much to offer: natural beauty, beautiful beaches and coastline, historic towns and villages, unspoiled mountains and nature reserves, places of special historical interest throughout the ages, so much to discover. This I am trying to capture in my new website:  http://southlazio.shapcott-family.com I am also passionate about CASSINO, ATINA AND THE VAL DI COMINO in Frosinone.  My ancestors came from this wonderful area:http://atina.shapcott-family.comIt would be great to keep in touch and perhaps try to meet up at some time.Perhaps youn could help us learn about more of your area too.Anyway, Ciao for now,Louie and Paul  

Welcome to S Lazio, we live near Palestrina for 6 months per year and I am always a bit mystified as to why non-Italians are so thin on the ground. Suggested places to visit might be Fiuggi with its pretty lake nearby, Subiaco with Santo Speco monastery, Certosa, Olevano,  and lots of others including of course Rome possibly less than an hour away, not forgetting the proximity of Ciampino airport as an advantage for the budget traveller! Personally I consider the countryside of the Ciociaria to be superior to Tuscany - certainly much greener. And finally I find the locals very welcoming with sensible prices in the many family-run restaurants.

Hi there, no time to talk as I have to dash but I live part of the year (not enough of it though) in Picinisco which is next to Atina.  I adore Atina, on market day it is like stepping back in time, but the whole of the Val di Comino is fabulous which is why we bought a house there.  We have no Italian background, just adore the area. Ron, my husband, is out there now, but we have a business in the UK and it is hard for us both, right now, to get away together.Must dash. Be back later. Maralyn
