The Tuscia
Tuscia was an ancient landscape in central Italy that extended over a small, southern part of Tuscany as well as parts of Umbria and Lazio. Its name derives from the Etruscans who once lived in this area. The Etruscans were a fascinating people with a rich culture that existed in central Italy between 800 and 350 BC. Their traces are still visible in Tuscia today: caves, hollow ways, ancient temples and historical relics bear witness to their former presence.
The name “Tuscia” originally referred to an extremely extensive area that encompassed the whole of Etruria: Tuscany, western Umbria and northern Lazio. In the course of various historical events, this territory was divided into three main areas:
Tuscia Romana: this corresponds to northern Lazio with the ancient papal province of the Patrimony of San Pietro. Today it corresponds to the province of Viterbo and the northern part of the province of Rome up to Lake Bracciano.
Tuscia Ducale: This comprised the areas in Lazio and Umbria that were subject to the Duchy of Spoleto.
Tuscia Longobarda: This roughly corresponds to the present-day territory of Tuscany and includes the areas that were subject to the Lombards and formed the Duchy of Tuscia.
Tuscia is a fascinating historical region, rich in culture and heritage. It's worth exploring the picturesque villages, villas and gardens that this region has to offer!
