Getting away from Rome towards the North and leaving aside the shores of the Thyrrenian Sea, you will arrive at the medieval borough of Ceri, a tiny village settled on a tufaceous spur of volcanic origin.
A crown of embattled walls embraces its ancient houses facing the tiny central square, tightened around both the Sanctuary of the Virgin Mary and the austere Palace of the noble family Torlonia. A context of remarkable archeologic, historic and naturalistic interest forms the background of this charming agricultural settlement, creating altogether a picture of rare beauty.
We find ourselves in the greatest archeologic area of Europe, namely the home of the Etruscan people.


Ceri is to be considered as an ideal starting point for noteworthy itineraries, starting from the castles along the seaside of Palo and Santa Severa, ending up at the fortress of Michelangelo and the harbour of Civitavecchia; from the Etruscan necropolis of Cerveteri to the thermal springs; from the naturalistic oasis of Palo and the mountains of Tolfa to the hot springs of Manziana; from the Thyrrenian coasts to the shores of the volcanic lake of Bracciano with its tiny medieval cities cosely flanked on its crater.
Its typical sceneries, its precious wines and its traditional cooking are all expressions of the Mediterranean flavours of the “Maremma Laziale”.
