Lazio

Lazio (Latium in Latin) is a regione of central Italy, bordered by Tuscany, Umbria, Abruzzo, Marche, Molise, Campania and the Tyrrhenian Sea. Lazio is divided into five provinces: Frosinone, Latina, Rieti, Rome (Roma), Viterbo.

The name of the region also survives in the tribal designation of the ancient population of Latins, from whom the Romans originated. With the exception of Rome, the region's economy has been unchanged in the last decades. Agriculture, crafts, animal husbandry and fishery are the main traditional sources of income. Agriculture is characterized by the cultivation of wine grapes, fruit, vegetables and olives.
