Lazio Region of Italy

We have spent the last week in the area of Lazio. It is the generally known as the centre of Italy. Viterbo, one the main cities is know as the Medieval Village of the area. Very hard to navigate around but quite beautiful.
The countryside of Lazio is stunning. My favorite place to spend the day on the back roads.( Ralph)
The tombs of Tarquina - Over 6000 tombs are in this area dating back to the 450AD. 60 tombs have frescoes painted in them. Sorry the lighting is not great but the picture is taken through glass and underground. It is Uneso Heritage Site.

Another of my favorites...... sitting in the villages sipping cappuccinos, watching the locals and viewing their homes. I love the gardens that are any place & everywhere through the villages. I wish you could see the swallows that are flying all over the roof tops of the villages.

Sipping all those cappuccinos, and next thing you know- you won't want to come home.
