region bordering with Campania to the west, Apulia to the north and east, and
Calabria to the south, with one coastline on the Tyrrhenian Sea between
Campania and Calabria, and a longer one in the Gulf of Taranto on the Ionian
Sea.
Campania the ancient Romans called it Campania Felix. Baia, Puteoli, Pompeii,
Stabia and Capri were their favorite destinations. Then and now, Happy Campania
is famed for its ancient ruins, coastal resorts and world-renowned culinary
traditions. A cultural and national capital for much of its nearly
three-thousand-year history, Naples is home to art museums, the San Carlo opera
house and a spectacular bay framed by Mt. Vesuvius, affectionately and
fearfully referred to by the local inhabitants as The Monster.
Lazio - Latium is mainly flat and hilly, with small mountainous areas in
the eastern and southern districts. The coastline is mainly composed of sandy
beaches. Behind the coastal strip, to the north, lies the coastal plain of
Maremma Laziale. The center is occupied by the Roman countryside, a vast
alluvial plain surrounding the city of Rome, and the south is characterized by
flatlands. The Apennines of Latium are marked by the Tiber River valley and
three mountains of volcanic origin whose craters are occupied by Lakes Bolsena,
Vico and Bracciano. South of the Tiber, the Alban Hills, are of volcanic
origin.
