Lazio Explorer

There are so many website and blogs on Rome, Lazio, and Italy in general that it can get really difficult to separate the wheat from the chaff. Here is a selection of those that I find most interesting and useful (drop me a tweet if you think you should be listed here)



Useful information for Rome (some are websites, others are blog posts on other blogs):

Italy in general:
