Lake Bolsena - Nature, history, and tradition | Untold Italy travel podcast Ep 268

Описание: Nestled in the picturesque northern corner of Lazio is Tuscia, an enchanting Italian region rich in Etruscan history, pristine natural landscapes, and a slow, authentic pace of life.

In this episode, host Katy Clarke welcomes Elena Ronca, a seasoned local tour and hiking guide, to reveal the untold secrets of Lake Bolsena - Italy’s largest volcanic lake - and its charming lakeside villages.

Discover why Lake Bolsena is a beloved summer escape for Romans, renowned for its crystal-clear waters, delicious local fish, and unique volcanic origins.

Elena shares insights about the surrounding towns like Bolsena, Marta, and Capodimonte, their connection to ancient Roman and Etruscan civilizations, and the annual traditions that bring the community together, such as the stunning Infiorata flower carpet for Corpus Christi.

Learn about must-see hidden gems like Lago di Mezzano, the mysterious underwater Etruscan village, and the beautiful Bisentina Island, rich in Renaissance history and contemporary art.

Whether you’re an art lover, foodie, hiker, or culture enthusiast, Tuscia offers an authentic Italian experience away from the tourist crowds.

Plan your next Italian adventure off the beaten path and discover why you should stop and stay awhile on your journey between Rome and Florence.
