Viterbo is the capital of Viterbo province, approximately 100 kilometers (60 mi) north of Rome. It is famous as "the town of the Popes": the Popes had a country residence there, which may still be seen; and it thus became the site of important church councils, and in particular of the first conclave. Its beautiful historical center was conceived in the Middle Ages and preserves the essential style of the medieval architecture of central Italy, with many palaces.

History. Rome grew from pastoral settlements on the Palatine Hill and surrounding hills approximately eighteen miles from the Tyrrhenian Sea on the south side of the Tiber, at a cross roads of traffic following the river valley and of traders traveling north and south on the west side of the peninsula. The settlements at Palatine and Quirinal were two of numerous Italic speaking communities which existed in Latium by the 1st millenium BC. In the 8th century BC these Italic tribes — Latins (in the west), Sabines (in the upper valley of the Tiber), Umbrians (in the north-east), Samnites (in the South), Oscans and others — shared the penisula with two other major ethnic groups: the Etruscans and the Greeks. The Etruscans were settled north of Rome in Etruria (modern Tuscany); many now believe that the Etruscans evolved from an Italian non-Indo-European speaking people called the Villanovans. Greek settlers colonized about 50 poleis in Southern Italy. After 650 BC, the Etruscans became dominant in Italy and expanded into north-central Italy. They came to control Rome and perhaps all of Latium. Roman tradition claimed that Rome had been under the control of seven kings from 753 to 509 BC begining with the mythic Romulus who along with his brother Remus were said to have founded the city of Rome. Two of the last three kings were said to be Etruscan. Around 500 BC Rome gained independence from the Etruscans but the Etruscans left a lasting influence on Rome. The Romans learned to build temples from them, and they introduced the worship of a triad of gods — Juno, Minerva, and Jupiter — from the Etruscan gods. They transformed Rome from a pastoral communinity into a city. They also passed on elements of Greek culture they had adopted such as the Western version of the Greek alphabet. After 500 BC, Rome began to emerge as the dominant city in Latium, and by 290 BC over half of the Italian penisula was controlled by Rome. In the 3rd century BC the Greek poleis in the south were brought under Roman control as well. The Roman Republic and Empire Rome was a republic from 509 to 29 BC. By the end of the Republic, the city of Rome dominated the whole of the Mediterranean. This grandeur increased under the emperors. From the early 3rd century AD Rome formally remained capital of the empire but emperors spent less and less time there. In 330, Constantine established a second capital at Constantinople, and later western emperors ruled from Milan or Ravenna. The Empire's conversion to Christianity made the Bishop of Rome (later called the Pope) the senior religious figure in the Western Empire. The fall of the Western Roman Empire made little difference to Rome. Odoacer and then the Ostrogoths continued to rule Italy from Ravenna. Meanwhile, the Senate, even though long since stripped of wider powers, continued to administer Rome itself, and the Pope usually came from a senatorial family. In 546, the Ostrogoths under Totila sacked the city. The Byzantine general Belisarius recaptured Rome but the Ostrogoths took it again in 549. Belisarius was replaced by Narses, who captured Rome from the Ostrogoths for good in 552. Eastern Roman Emperor Justinian I (reigned 527–565) granted Rome subsidies for the maintenance of public buildings, aqueducts and bridges - though, being mostly drawn from an Italy impoverished by the recent wars, these were not always fully sufficient. In practice, local power in Rome devolved to the Pope. The reign of Justinian's nephew and successor Justin II (reigned 565–578) would see the invasion of the Lombards under Alboin (568). The armies of the Frankish King invaded the Lombard territories in 584, 585, 588 and 590. Rome suffered badly from a disastrous flood of the Tiber in 589, followed by a plague in 590. The strong Byzantine cultural influence did not always lead to political harmony between Rome and Constantinople. In 727, Pope Gregory II refused to accept the decrees of Byzanthine Emperor Leo III, establishing iconoclasm. Leo transferred areas previously under the Pope to the Patriarch of Constantinople. This left Rome reliant purely on its own local forces. Other protectors were now needed - and finally, in 753, Pope Stephen III induced Pepin III, king of the Franks, to attack the Lombards. Papal and Renaissance Rome When Pepin III defeated the Lombards in 756, Rome became the capital city of the Papal States, a territorial entity at least nominally ruled by the Papacy. Rome became the worldwide centre of Christianity and increasingly developed a relevant political role that made it one of the most important towns of the Old Continent. In the 16th century a central area was delimited around the Porticus Octaviae, for the creation of the famous Roman Ghetto, in which the city's Jews were forced to live. The modern city Following the unification of Italy in 1870 Rome became the capital of the new Italian state. During the Second World War Rome suffered some heavy bombings (notably at San Lorenzo fuori le Mura) and battles (Porta San Paolo, La Storta) and was considered an "open town". However, Rome was spared the wholesale destruction of cities such as Berlin or Warsaw. Rome fell to the Allies on June 4, 1944. It was the first capital of an Axis nation to fall. After the war Rome continued to expand due to Italy's growing state administration and industry, with the creation of new quartieri and suburbs.

 

Lazio Bed and breakfasts in Lazio Italy, B & B

The capital has remains that bear witness to millennia of history, and yet everywhere in Lazio there is something to recall. Viterbo, Tarquinia, Tuscania and Cerveteri speak of the Etruscan civilization.  And art is everywhere, too: the treasures in Montecassino Abbey, the Villas of Tivoli, and Ostia Antica. But particularly in Rome, universally known for its monuments of every age: from the Roman Forum to its Renaissance and Baroque palaces, is museums and piazzas, its obelisks and fountains. 

There is much to see in the environs of the city: the Alban Hills, known as the "Castelli Romani", and the Lakes of Bolsena, Vico, Bracciano and Albano; seaside resorts include Anzio and the Pontine Isles.  Typical dishes include lamb, artichokes and spaghetti alla carbonara. Apart from the famous "Castelli" wines, there is also Montefiascone's Est! Est! Est! Lazio Bed and breakfasts in Lazio Italy, B & B.

Province of Cagliari Sardegna (Sardinia) Region, Italy Locality Cagliari, called Casteddu in the Sardinian language, is the capital of the region of Sardinia, With one of the longest beaches - the Poetto beach with its white fine-grained sand, stretching for 13 km, and thanks to its mild climate, often refreshed by northern-west winds, it is an ideal location for sailing, hiking and outdoor sports. It is close to other beautiful sea-side locations, such as Chia or Villasimius, still relatively unspoilt by tourism and also close to mountain parks, such as Monte Arcosu or Maidopis, with large forests and wildlife (Sardinian deers, wild boars). Cagliari has some peculiar gastronomic traditions. Many dishes are based on the wide variety of fish and sea food available. Although it is possible to trace influences from Spanish gastronomy, Cagliaritanian food has a distintctive and unique character. Also excellent wines are produced in the nearby vineyards of the Campidano plain. Life in Cagliari has been vividly depicted by Sergio Atzeni, who settled many of his novels and short stories in ancient and modern Cagliari. Among these, available in English is "Bakunin's son".

The valle d'Aosta is the region in which the language is most in use. The Valle d'Aosta is an Alpine valley that with its side valleys includes the Italian slopes of Mont Blanc and the Matterhorn; its highest peak is the Gran Paradiso, protected in Gran Paradiso National Park, established in 1922. It is a major centre for winter sports, most famously at Courmayeur. The Dora Baltea has its origins in the Valle d'Aosta, flowing south to join the Po. The upper Val d'Aosta is the traditional southern starting-point for the tracks, then roads, which divided here to lead over the Alpine passes. The road through the Great St Bernard Pass (or today the Great St Bernard Tunnel) leads to Martigny, Valais, and the one through the Little St Bernard Pass to Bourg-Saint-Maurice, Savoie. Today Aosta is joined to Chamonix in France by the Mont Blanc Tunnel, a road tunnel on E25 running underneath the Alps. The area was of strategic importance, under the control of many different rulers after the collapse of Roman rule in the 5th century, until it passed to the house of Savoy in the 11th century. In 1927 the province of Aosta was established with centers from the area of Turin and Ivrea, then the Valle d'Aosta was established as an autonomous region of Italy in 1948. The province is today administratively divided into 74 Municipalities.
