Slow Tour Alto Lazio: Discovering the Italian Far West & Etruscan Heritage | Episode 5 - 6

Join #PatrizioRoversi and #SyusyBlady on a captivating slow journey through Northern Lazio, a land where ancient history and untamed nature beautifully collide. The episode begins with a dive into the deep past, exploring the magnificent UNESCO World Heritage Etruscan necropolises of Tarquinia and Cerveteri. From there, we follow Patrizio into the heart of the Maremma Laziale. Once famously described by Dante in Canto XIII of his Inferno as a harsh, infernal forest of "gnarled and twisted branches," this territory has transformed into a true earthly paradise—fertile, rich in biodiversity, and blessed by the gentle sea breeze. Yet, the Maremma Laziale still winks at its wild origins. This is Italy’s very own "Far West," a romantically semi-wild frontier where human labor still speaks the language of ancient traditions. It remains the proud homeland of the butteri (Italy’s legendary cowboys), untamed horses, and majestic herds of Maremma cattle, whose iconic great horns carve paths through the dense woods.
