Beautiful South Lazio

We have now been living in South Lazio in Italy for more than 3 years.

We came to this area on holiday several years ago and we loved it so much that we decided to sell up, “lock, stock and barrell”, and move out here.  We have no regrets.

This beautiful mountainous, coastal region is situated midway between Rome and Naples.

This area is rich in history, architecture, culture and natural beauty and is noted for its temperate climate, and rainless summers.

It is blessed with the best of both worlds :

The beautiful coastline of the Riviera Di Ulisse, with its numerous golden sandy beaches, rocky coves, hidden caves and sheltered harbours, and the pretty seaside resorts of Sperlonga, Gaeta, Formia and Terracina.

Yet close by are the dramatic mountains of the Aurunci Regional Park, with its verdant hillsides, olive groves, lakes and protected nature reserves.

I would like to share with you, my passion for this beautiful area, by taking you on a photo tour of this very special region.

Enjoy !!!

Itri – L’Infiorata / Flower Festival

In June the feast of Corpus Domini attracts many visitors to Itri, to view the colourful, decorative carpet of flowers, over which the traditional Corpus Domini procession passes. 

The designs depict scenes from the bible and messages of peace and brotherhood, and are painstakingly composed of thousands of individual flower petals.
