This image was taken in Tuscania, in the province of Viterbo in Lazio while walking and exploring the beautiful town of Tuscania. It is part of my documentation of Lazio and surrounding areas whilst I was Living there.

The architecture in Tuscania is a stunning blend of medieval, renaissance and Gothic styles. The narrow, cobblestone streets are lined with towering buildings made of local stone, boasting intricate facades and colorful shutters. 

The town's centerpiece is the beautiful Santa Maria Maggiore church, with its ornate bell tower and intricate frescoes and just outside of the town centre is the stunning Etruscan church of San Pietro.

Just like so many medieval Italian towns Tuscania is just wonderful. Literally every corner you turn there is something stunning that just.. well almost assaults you.

 There is something about the colours of the late summer afternoon just before the evening, which caresses the stone buildings in warm light, contrasted by the long shadows which usher in the end of the day. 

The history, the light, smells and vibrancy of the surrounding countryside.. it all teases the child in you and pokes you to explore and absorb this beautiful town.

The historic centre of Tuscania currently stands on an area that has been populated since ancient times. The whole territory was then occupied for a long period by the Etruscans, which has been confirmed by the excavations of numerous necropolis around the acropolis and along the Marta river.

The surrounding countryside is extremely fertile and equally picturesque, with rolling hills of deep greens and fields of sunflowers stretching as far as the eye can see. 

Tuscania is also known for its olive groves, the town is surrounded by these (which produce some of the best olive oil in Italy) along with vineyards producing some wonderful wine. 

The cuisine of Tuscania is very rich and varied because it represents a mix of three regions, Lazio, Tuscany and Umbria. The most representative dish of this area is Acquacotta, a peasant recipe made with stale bread, potatoes, tomatoes and chicory. 

There are many types of handmade pasta, the likes of gnocchi, fettuccine or "pasta straccia", which are dressed with tasty and rich wild boar or hare sauces.

There is also no shortage of pork and lamb cooked mainly on the grill, but the "Pignattaccia" is perhaps the most famous. It is a mixture of meat and entrails of pork and beef cooked in the oven together with various vegetables.
