The Lazio Region of Italy<\/a> is located in the central area of the Italian peninsula and is the divide between the north and the south.\u00a0 The west coast of this region overlooks the Tyrrhenian Sea.\u00a0 Since the country of Italy is commonly known as the shape of a boot…\u00a0 to get an idea of its geographic location just look down at your leg and it would be located just above and below your knee.\u00a0 The name Lazio (pronounced ‘lattsjo) comes from the Latin, LATIUM.\u00a0 Lazio is divided into five Provinces – Frosinone (FR), Latina (LT), Rieti (RT), Roma (RM), and Viterbo (VT).<\/p>\n

Lazio Region and Provinces<\/p><\/div>\n

The Lazio region is rich in culture and history perhaps most famously for being the center of the Roman Empire as well it is the world center of the Catholic religion home to the Vatican. The foundation of ancient Rome begins in the 8th century BC.\u00a0 Outside of Rome this region is mostly plains and hills with a mountain region located in the Province of Rieti.<\/p>\n

More than have the population of the entire region live in or around the city of Rome.\u00a0 Lazio is the third most populated and the second richest region of Italy.\u00a0 Rome has pioneered many engineering<\/a> feats that have been the foundation of the technologies we benefit from today.\u00a0 The area has inspired countless motion pictures like Gladiator<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There is no argument that can be made how much this region has influenced and inspired the world for centuries and that influence has even stretched to Urbanfloor and our\u00a0Villa Caprisi Collection and hence the name ‘Lazio’\u00a0 as the name of one of the 8-colors in this collection.\u00a0 To view photos and get more details simply visit HERE<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
