The inclusion of Ostia in a list of the "ugliest seaside towns in Europe" by British newspaper The Telegraph has caused anger in the coastal resort near the Italian capital
was rated the second ugliest seaside town in Europe by travel writer Tim Jepson
who admitted that he had not been there for years
"When I lived in Rome the temptation during broiling summers was to head to the beach" - Jepson writes - "Though not for a week in glorious Sardinia
foolish and poor – for a day trip to the city’s “local” beach
Jepson notes that while the sand at least looked "more or less OK
decrying the "ranks of modern apartment blocks as a backdrop
The writer concludes with: "Perhaps the water is better these days: I’ve never dared go back."
the unflattering review in The Telegraph sparked an outcry in Ostia as well as among Romans who spend their summer days there
The backlash online was largely against Jepson's viewpoint however there were also some who agreed with his assessment
president of Rome's X borough which includes Ostia
saying he felt obliged to "strongly defend the extraordinary beauty and uniqueness of our territory"
noting that the Italian environmental agency ARPA had certified Ostia's water quality as "excellent" for the third year in a row
Falconi also drew attention to the unique archaeological heritage of Ostia Antica that attracts visitors from all over the world
"The sensational rankings and the clickbait titles do not tell the reality: the sea of Ostia is a place to experience
discover and love" - Falconi said - "We do not and will never accept false labels created by those who artfully distort reality!"
In The Telegraph's ranking of Europe's ugliest seaside towns
Ostia was flanked by Monaco in first place and the Croatian resort of Ploče in third place
while the accolade of "prettiest seaside town in Europe" went to Collioure in France

The investigations of the Carabinieri of the Investigative Unit of Ostia began after the arrest of Claudio Corelli
found in possession of 220 grams of cocaine
By delegation of the DDA of the Rome Public Prosecutor's Office
the Carabinieri of the Ostia Group are executing an order
of criminal association aimed at drug trafficking
dealing and international drug trafficking
The investigations of the Carabinieri of the Ostia Investigative Unit
coordinated by the Public Prosecutor's Office
started after the arrest of Claudio Corelli
have allowed us to collect serious circumstantial evidence regarding the existence of a criminal organization dedicated to the importation of large quantities of cocaine from Holland to the capital for a turnover of millions of euros
The military reconstructed in detail the operating methods of the criminal association
which allegedly guaranteed the distribution of drugs on a large scale throughout Lazio and also in other Italian regions
using extremely sophisticated supply methods to evade police controls
the Carabinieri of Ostia arrested 9 people in flagrante delicto
for a value of approximately 1,5 million euros
believed to be the proceeds of illegal activities
with large quantities of cocaine: the first was intercepted in May 2022
aboard a Ford Transit vehicle carrying 19 one-kilogram blocks of cocaine
hidden in special compartments created in a double bottom; the second
stopped driving a Citroen Jumper with 8 kg of cocaine hidden in the spare wheel; the third
aboard a Toyota Rav 4 carrying 4 kg of cocaine and over 130 thousand euros in cash
What is assumed to be a criminal organization
had a solid and well-defined pyramid structure
on the basis of the serious circumstantial evidence collected
capable of coordinating a heterogeneous group of collaborators
including the couriers responsible for transporting the drugs and the so-called "rette"
concealment and sale of the narcotics; among those under investigation were also some women
seriously suspected of holding strategic roles within the organization

When I have to choose a place to go to eat I hardly trust restaurants that shuffle the offerings
unless they are those old trattorias-pizzerias with which Rome grew up and which sometimes tear me away with a nostalgic desire to feel part of that history
the ones you ask friends by trade and whom you trust
and that is how I find myself in Ostia at Royalbeef
it is a restaurant dedicated to meat that the Larosa family
opens just steps from the sea in Ostia to overcome the (scarce) supply of seafood cuisine in a seaside neighborhood
Giuseppe Domenico leads the way in the steakhouse and boasts sizes
and cured meats that go beyond the family's meats
embracing a valuable selection that combines Italy
and today the sign reads Royalbeef x Splendori Pizza
Alessandro and Giuseppe Domenico meet in their neighborhood
giving value to an urban fabric that matters more than where you dreamed of escaping as a child
and Alessandro is looking for a place to express that desire born in 2017 to be a pizza maker
along with all the experience gained especially from one of the best pizza makers in Italy
As in the best stories this meeting becomes the beginning of an adventure that
if on the one hand mixes two offers united by the spirit of informality
on the other hand binds two passions and two professionals who have a desire to emerge
and the menu offers from cured meats made with family-raised Nebrodi Black pig to cuts of Piedmontese Fassona
A good place to eat meat for more than a decade
with an eclectic and somewhat kitschy style that puts together Super Mario and fluorescent colors
is the new style that comes to the plate following the school of the Roman tonda
with a dough that in the flours finds a consistency capable of holding the gastronomic level of the toppings
without ever giving in while remaining light
There are things about all of them that are striking and that I think are worth trying at Royalbeef x Splendori Pizza
breaks the ice of appetite with great style
and the Gyoza (which I would sear on the grill) of coda alla vaccinara has a really good filling and sauce
served in the hand on a stick and held together by cornflakes that make it easy to shape and fry
Mustard and bbq sauce wrap up a series of bites you wish were more
there is a Bufala with a very thin dough that brings to the table a mozzarella that is certainly fresh
Alessandro's intent is to take the great Sunday classics and bring them on the dough that he masters with great technique
you will find many special pizzas that here are called Royal (and there are 11 of them) dedicated to first or second courses of regional gastronomic tradition
Potatoes and Provola comes out with potato béchamel
It is a bite that you expect to be saturated in the fatty flavor components and instead remains elegant without losing the thread of an original and rewarding overall flavor
the pineapple and bell bell pepper gels (great looking by the way
but perhaps a hair too much) to create a contrast of acidity
sweetness and freshness in a clean whole on the palate with the toasted sesame finally bringing you back to the world of pizza and baking
A pizza that I would gobble up right after the Magnum and without going through the gate
on those days when you need to find comfort in good things to eat with satisfaction
In extremis comes a dessert challenge with a “ 4 mountain cheeses ” (cave pecorino
It is served with a red fruit gel that lacks a bit of acidity
but it makes a good contrast with the intended strength in the final flavor that really tastes of the mountains and sweetness pushed toward vegetal acidities
and in this case the Tiramisu leaves no room for doubt about the sugary sweetness of a great classic mascarpone cream
juicy thanks to a balanced marbling and with really good vegetable-flavored fat
More than two months of maturation and a rare cooked cut that alternates between embers
iron and pasture to give delight to the palate of those who really love meat
informal service has the ability to make you feel at home
schools facing the sea and breezes that turn the seasons of those who Rome has always seen it from afar
continues to be a landmark for lovers of meat and the cuts that enhance it through national and international selections
Splendori has great dough on its hands and a good gastronomic vision to be handled with care and without haste
with about sixty seats that in season expand with the outside
sure in summer it will be a little difficult to park
but that traffic circle by the sea is always worth a lookout

The best beach near Rome in terms of travel time
This lovely beach is located in a quaint bay and has clear water
a great little hole-in-the-wall for a quick takeaway lunch (beneath the Gigi Bar on the boardwalk) and plenty of lounge chairs
There is a small public area to lay out your towel
How to get here: Take the train from any major station in Rome (Roma Termini
Trastevere or San Pietro) to Santa Marinella
The walk from the station to the beach takes about five to 10 minutes
for a beach with a castle Another great option is Santa Severa
making for a very photogenic bathing experience
and some hidden rocky alcoves that lie just behind it
There is a delightful restaurant right on the beach
for a lunch of fresh fish or a sunset spritz
The beach is a 20-minute walk from the station
for the closest beach to Rome Ostia is the closest beach to Rome and features many stabilimenti (which require a membership to enter) along the boardwalk
Although Ostia is the quickest option from the city
you’ll be rewarded with clearer water and cleaner sand as you head farther away from the capital
check out the Cancelli: a series of numbered beaches with sand dunes (you’ll need to catch the 07 bus to arrive)

How to get here: Take the Metro B to Piramide
and then follow the signs for the trains to Roma-Lido (up the escalator and to the left)
Make sure to get off at Lido Centro and not Ostia Antica
Fregene, for a trendy crowd Just north of Ostia lies Fregene, a slightly cleaner and hipper beach. It’s a favourite with the trendy crowd of northern Rome and offers splendid evening aperitivi at the Singita Miracle Beach Club
where cushions are strewn all over the beach and a ceremonial gong is hit when the sun goes down
How to get here: Take the Metro A to the Cornelia stop (direction Battistini)
hop in one of the small buses that go to Fregene
Ladispoli is another safe bet north of Rome: with its long coastline
you’re always sure to find ample room to lay your towel
and it’s only a short train ride from Rome
If you enjoy spending time at the beach during the offseason
be sure to check out the artichoke festival that takes place here during the second week of April each year
How to get here: Take the train from most stations in Rome to Cerveteri-Ladispoli
The beach is a 15-minute walk from the station
How to get here: Take a train from Roma Termini to Fondi-Sperlonga
a city best known for being the site of the landing of Allied forces during World War II and the Battle of Anzio
This beach gateway has beautiful water (it has been awarded the Bandiera Blu
water quality and sustainable management of beaches in 48 countries around the world)
and the ruins of Emperor Nero’s ancient villa make for a delightful backdrop
How to get here: Take the train from Roma Termini to Anzio
The walk from the station to the beach takes about 15 to 20 minutes
for escaping the crowds Continuing further south is Sabaudia
a city characterised by its fascist architecture
This beach is also recognised with the Bandiera Blu award and is less crowded than many others because the train doesn’t stop directly in the town
The extra effort to get here will seem worth it when you see the clear water and expansive beach
take the train to Priverno-Fossanova and then a Cotral bus to Sabaudia
climb down the wooden stairways to the beach

Rome
Forget everything you know about Rome
because the Italian capital isn’t just for city breaks
Once you’ve spent your days checking out everything this wonderful city has to offer
it’s likely you’ll fancy something a bit different.
There are a ton of beaches just a short day trip from the main city
and they’re all easily reachable via public transport
The beaches here have something for everyone
be it watersports or family-friendly days out
here are the best beaches near Rome.
RECOMMENDED:📍 The best things to do in Rome🍝 The best restaurants in Rome🏛️ The best attractions in Rome🏘️ The best Airbnbs in Rome
Photograph: ShutterstockThis beach certainly isn’t the most beautiful of them all
We’re talking one direct 30-minute train from Rome’s Port of Ostia
many stabilimenti which dominate the beach
and you can be back well in time for your late-afternoon aperitivo.
East of Rome (and sometimes spelt Fregenae)
Fregene boasts the sexiest beach scene around
attracting stylish young Romans who favour its chic stabilimenti over the more plebeian bars in nearby Ostia
Water quality here ranges from okay to good
Go later in the day and stay past sundown for Fregene’s hopping party scene: you may end up sipping on Campari and Aperol spritzes with pro soccer players
minor celebrities and the city’s chic crowd
This beach town ticks all the boxes: a picturesque whitewashed city footed by long stretches of sandy beach flanking a small harbour
Sperlonga is a blue flag (Bandiera Blu) beach: designated for its cleanliness and water quality
shallow waters in a stunning setting – especially at the far southern end near the Grotto of Tiberius – it ticks the boxes
There’s a lot to love about family-friendly Santa Severa
including the seafront 14th-century castle (worthy of a Game of Thrones cameo)
and the fact that it’s a 40-minute train ride from Rome’s San Pietro station
We also adore this quirky trait: north of the castle
the wide soft-sand beaches of Sabaudia fly the Bandiera Blu (blue flag) to attest to their cleanliness and flaunt another major asset: a football fields-worth of free beach
The beach is backed by dunes and wealthy villas – both of which have limited commercial development and kept the beach more natural than its counterparts and a bit harder to reach
The Romans built a temple to Jupiter at Terracina
so it’s probably worth you building a sandcastle or two here
This popular getaway south of Rome offers a busy beachfront lined with stabilimenti
a lovely centro storico (historical centre) and gobsmacking views for those who choose to hike up to the temple ruins
when the fiery orb drops behind Monte Circeo
known for turning Odysseus’s sailors into swine
Photograph: ShutterstockDon’t knock it until you’ve tried it
Though the Roman port city of Civitavecchia is best known as the place to catch a ferry to anywhere else
it actually has a decent sandy beach that offers good swimming
plenty of free sand on which to park a towel and the convenience of a busy lungomare
The beach is a five-minute walk from the train station
Beaches near Rome get a bad rap given the usual crowds and sub-par water quality
but Santa Marinella defies all the naysayers
A 45-minute train ride from Rome drops you three minutes away from a crescent-shaped beach with fine sand and clear waters
It’s lined wall-to-wall with fee-based stabilimenti
so plan to fork out some Euros for a lounger and umbrella or fight for a few square metres of limited free beach (spiaggia libera) space
Photograph: ShutterstockIf you want a side of history with your sun and fun
Head to the free section at the foot of the ancient Villa Imperiale
once home to notorious Roman emperor Nero and a host of his successors
An artificial breakwater keeps waters shallow
dedicated to the decisive 1944 Allied landing here
Photograph: Courtesy TripAdvisor/zorbas15This wild
undeveloped beach might look more at home on a stretch of New England coastline than just a few miles south of the frenetic scene at Ostia
and you’ll soon reach an area of rugged dunes and the occasional beach bar
This is Rome’s most gay-friendly beach
so remember to bring along whatever comforts you require

the beach might not be the first thing that springs to mind on your Roman getaway
But a trip to Rome isn’t just a city break
There are stretches of sand that are easy to reach from the city and make for the perfect day trip
If you’ve got the time and you’re in Rome for more than a long weekend
change up the pace of your trip with a visit to the beach
Rest your feet from all that walking by paddling in the ocean and dipping your toes in the sand
Enjoy an aperitivo with sea views or tuck into tasty seafood caught metres from where you’re sitting
And let the kids build their own versions of Rome’s famous landmarks in the sand
With many of Rome’s beaches less than an hour away by public transport
it’s easy to take a day trip out of the city for sea
Before you decide on your beach and depart the city
If you want to hang out with the bright young things of Rome and even spot a minor celebrity
If you still want some more Roman history after your time in the city
beeline to Terracina for a crumbling Roman temple and epic views or Anzio for its ancient Roman villa
whilst Sabaudia promises the widest stretch of free beach you’ll find on a day trip from Rome
they are split between spiagge libere (free beach) and stabilimenti where you’ll be charged for sunbeds and parasols
just remember some beaches are dominated by stabilimenti so you may struggle to get a decent spot without having to pay
Looking for a day at the beach away from the city
Here are eight great beaches near Rome to pick from
Leonardo da Vinci-Fiumicino Airport: approximately 8.5km
Whilst it’s not the Italian beach of your dreams in the beauty stakes
it’s super close to Rome and you’ll be there with just one direct 30-minute train
Its proximity to Rome means it’s super popular with the locals so will likely fill up in the late afternoon when the after-work crowd gets here
Leonardo da Vinci-Fiumicino Airport: approximately 57km
This crescent-shaped beach has fine sand and warm waters
There are fee-based stabilimenti everywhere
so you’ll need to pay for a sun lounger and parasol but it’s par for the course in Italy
This stretch of sand is also a popular spot for windsurfers
there are two trains an hour leaving from Termini Station to Santa Marinella
Leonardo da Vinci-Fiumicino Airport: approximately 68km
Anzio brings the beach fun and the history too
You’ll find the free section of beach at the foot of the ancient Villa Imperiale – which was once home to the Roman emperor Nero and many of his successors
20 minutes away is the Anzio Beachhead Museum
dedicated to the Allied landing here in 1944
One train an hour leaves from Termini Station and takes around an hour
Leonardo da Vinci-Fiumicino Airport: approximately 130km
This blue flag beach brings beautiful views
The sand is a gorgeous golden and the waters are clear and warm
with a whitewashed city backing the beach and a small harbour
The journey from Rome takes around 90 minutes including both train and bus
so it’s a better option to stay over rather than a day trip
Leonardo da Vinci-Fiumicino Airport: approximately 15.5km
If you’re looking for a party spot on your Roman beach day
it still attracts a crowd of bright young things from Rome
Some of the stabilimenti are more upmarket than nearby Ostia
Stay for aperitivo and even stick around after sundown to see some of the coolest players from Rome
Leonardo da Vinci-Fiumicino Airport: approximately 97km
this is the place to head if you want to avoid the stabilimenti and enjoy wide stretches of open free beach – something that doesn’t happen often on the beaches near Rome
Dunes back the beach with expensive villas overlooking the sands
plus the area is also known for its Mussolini-era architecture
Leonardo da Vinci-Fiumicino Airport: approximately 147km
Easily accessible by train and bus – or a hire car – from Rome
Gaeta has a blue flag beach with a quaint medieval town to explore too
It’s one of the most accessible beaches in the area and a great option for families
The sand is golden and the entrance to the water is shallow – there are no rocks either
Leonardo da Vinci-Fiumicino Airport: approximately 111km
Terracina is easy to get to by train and bus
And the stunning setting is well worth the trip
The Romans built a temple to Jupiter on this site and the ruins remain today – you can hike up to the top for epic coastal views
The historical centre is worth a visit too
Visit during weekdays to avoid the busy weekend crowds
Wear hats and suncream in the intense Mediterranean sun
When you’ve got more than a few days in Rome
treat yourself and join the locals for a day at the beach
Then you’ll be energised ready to get back to sightseeing in the hustle and bustle of this fantastic city

Did you know you can easily reach the beach from Rome in less than an hour
Typically, visitors don't come to Rome to go to the beach
But when summer heats up, I find people, especially families with young children
start asking about how to get to the beach from Rome
Rome is not far from the coast
so you have plenty of options for easily visiting a beach from here.
Click here to see my Google map with all the Rome beaches listed here
plus any other relevant places in each spot
In Italy (and in many other countries in Europe)
it's fairly common to pay to use the beach
You can almost always find part of a given beach that is spiaggia libera
When I first started visiting European beaches in my back-packing student days
I was surprised to find that most of the beach was occupied by lawn chairs and umbrellas
Coming from Florida
I was used to long stretches of sand and surf
it means you don't have to haul a lot of stuff with you when you come to the beach
You can just pay for a big umbrella and comfy lounge chair
when it comes to the more nicely-equipped of these stabilimenti
I think many Italians find it's worth paying to have a calmer
And they like having the services of an on-site shower
In fact, a lot of Italians pay for a year-round pass to their favorite establishment, making it a kind of exclusive club (anyone can join, it's only about money)
So you'll need to decide if you want to pay (rates vary by beach
knowing you'll need to bring your own mat/towel/chair etc
Costs and What You Can Expect To Pay at Rome Beaches
It will cost around 10€ and up for the all-day use of an umbrella and one chair
At some locations you can also rent a private changing cabin
which gives you access to the showers and pool
spots closest to the water are often reserved for the full-time members of a given establishment

Following are my favorite Rome beaches in order of easiest to reach
The closest beach to Rome, and the easiest to get to, is Ostia
Most Romans will tell you this is not the nicest of the Rome beaches
but it is where many of them go just the same
If you flew into Rome, you may have landed at Fiumicino airport
which is just a little north of this beach
But you can also look for the free beaches in between
or go further south to the free-entry cancelli (see below for how to get there)
Ostia is actually part of the municipality of Rome, so the same ATAC bus/train tickets are valid here
You can use the same ticket you used to arrive in Ostia to get on one of the buses that goes up and down the beach road
as long as the time has not expired (100 minutes from the time you first validated it)
as it may be hard to find a place to buy them once you are there
How to get there: Take the Rome Metro Blue Line B to Piramide
using the same ticket that you used for the Metro
take the Ostia-Lido train (about half hour)
There is only one direction from the Piramide station
Get off at Ostia Lido Centro (not to be confused with Ostia Antica
unless you want to spend a couple of hours visiting these incredible ruins - which I do recommend either for another day
as a half-day visit if you only want a half day at the beach).
you can simply walk from the station to the beach
Instead of getting off at Ostia Lido Centro
stay on the train until the very last stop
you can see quite a lot of (fee-based) beach clubs
061 or 062 buses (they run about every 15 minutes)
you'll have access to plenty of free beach space
Planning to travel between cities in Italy and other parts of Europe
Use Trainline to see all the different options available across the different rail companies
and self-catering apartments in neighborhoods throughout the Eternal City
Purchase the convenient Turbopass and visit all of Rome's top attractions including the Colosseum
This is another beach near Rome that is very easy to reach with one train ride
The train takes you from Termini right to the center of Santa Marinella in under an hour
and the beach is about a 10 minute walk from there
I love Santa Marinella as it has a family-friendly feel
It's not as loud as some other Rome beaches and lacks that party atmosphere
Above is a video of a day trip I took to Santa Marinella in winter
How to get there: Hop on the local train from any of Rome's train stations
Marinella (the "S"of Santa is abbreviated)
The trip costs around 10€ and takes just over an hour
Follow the other bathing-suit clad people getting off the train and you will arrive at the beach in about 5-10 minutes' walk
Fregene is slightly further north than Ostia
so it's still one of the Rome beaches that's close and relatively easy to reach
It can get pretty chaotic on a weekend summer night
We love staying until sunset and enjoying a yummy seafood dinner at La Scialuppa
How to get there: Take the "Pisa - Livorno - Grosseto" train from Rome Termini to Maccarese (around half an hour
From the Maccarese station you can wait for the hourly bus to pass
🔐 Peace of mind for your travels 🧳
Have you organized your travel insurance yet
Getting cover in place to protect against unforeseen circumstances should be at the top of your planning list so you can relax and enjoy your travels fully.
Check out our recommended travel insurance now
Santa Severa is the beach just before Santa Marinella
and also because the beach is mostly spiaggia libera (free)
How to get there: Take a regional train from any of Rome's main train stations
There is something about the wild and free nature of Sabaudia that just grabs me.
you have just a very long strip of sand and beach
and few stabilimenti (fee-based beach clubs.)
This also means there are a lot fewer services and places to eat than you will find at the other Rome beaches
the other side of the road is just marshland
A friend of mine visiting from Brazil actually said to me that the water reminded her of beaches in Brazil
How to get there: Take the regional train from Rome Termini towards Naples
Make sure one of the stops will be Priverno Fossanova
you can walk to the beach about 15-20 minutes
Trying to figure out how to organize your visit to Rome
I've got the perfect 3-day itinerary for first-time visitors (or those who have not been here in a while.) It works for a 2.5 day visit as well
or want suggestions for extra/other things to do
Visit my page with the best 3-day itinerary in Rome for first-timers
Anzio is about an hour from Rome's city center
is very easily accessible by train for a mere 7€ round trip
I used to think of Anzio more as a port city or fishing village.
And of course it is well known as the site of the Allied Forces' landing in World War II
The American Cemetery is not far from Anzio
You can opt for an excellent full-day tour from Rome, that includes the cemetery and much more.
The beach in Anzio is divided into a small free area
and a bigger private area that charges admission
The beach itself is flanked by a rocky landscape dotted with Roman ruins from the time of the Emperor Nero (who was from here)
How to get there: Take a regional train from Termini station to Anzio
Many locals agree that Sperlonga is one of the prettiest of the Rome beaches
even if it's really time-consuming to get to
In fact, you might even want to stay for a couple of days
One of the nicest things about Sperlonga is the pretty town the beach is in
It's worth visiting all by itself for the cute tiny streets
This is one of those Rome beaches you can visit in winter
Option 1 - Take a regional train from Rome Termini (and other stations)
The train takes about an hour and costs about 20 Euros one way
Option 2 - Catch a train from Roma Termini to Fondi-Sperlonga
These buses come sort of sporadically, so you should check timetables in advance (site in Italian only)
or perhaps spring for a taxi from the Fondi station (around 20-25€)
Ponza is probably the farthest of the Rome beaches
but absolutely worth the effort it takes to get there
Ponza is an island not far off the coast near Rome, and while you can visit it as a day trip, you may want to consider spending a day or two there
Since my pal Gillian goes there often, she has a lot of writeups on her blog
How to get there: You'll need to take a train to one of the towns south of Rome (Terracina
and then take a hydrofoil or ferry to Ponza
You can also book a day-long tour

Maybe when you were thinking about Rome beaches
the idea of a lake did not immediately come to mind
But visiting one of the lakes near Rome can be a wonderful
Below are the two easiest lakes to get to:
flat walking path that loops around the whole thing (maybe a 2-hour walk max)
Castel Gandolfo, the summer home and gardens of the Pope
If you go on your own, you might want to opt for a romantic, and delicious, lunch or dinner at the famed Ristorante Pagnanelli
where you can enjoy amazing lake-views and first-rate cuisine
For a step by step description of how you can spend a day visiting Castel Gandolfo, check out this blog post by Natalie of An American in Rome
How to get there: Trains leave Rome Termini (and other stations) at least once an hour
You can also take the scenic route along the Appian Way on a bike tour and glide around Lake Albano.
Lake Bracciano offers several options for a lovely day trip out of Rome
Bracciano also boasts a 15th century castle you can visit (most famous for where Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes were married)
How to get there: Take the local train from Rome's San Pietro station (right behind the Vatican)
and it takes about an hour to get to Bracciano
You can also consider a half-day tour
which of course takes all the planning off your hands

27 September 2023) – The European Public Prosecutor’s Office (EPPO) and the Italian Financial Police (Guardia di Finanza) have launched the ‘EPPO Academy’
and the General Commander of the Guardia di Finanza
signed a working arrangement to that effect yesterday
attended by the entire College of the EPPO
took place at the premises of the Economic-Financial Police School of the Guardia di Finanza
In order to make a lasting difference to the fight against serious organised crime
the EPPO needs the support of dedicated and specialised investigators in all the participating Member States
there is an overall lack of experience in investigations into financial and economic crimes in general
and crimes affecting the EU budget in particular
The EPPO Academy’s objective is to give any law enforcement officer working on EPPO cases the opportunity to learn from the best in any field relevant to the EPPO’s competence
it will propose a first set of training courses under the auspices of the Guardia di Finanza
at its world-renowned Economic-Financial Police School
Selected law enforcement officers from the 22 participating Member States will have the opportunity to gain a better understanding of how their work feeds into a transnational investigation led by the EPPO
and of different legal instruments of particular relevance to EPPO operations
They will gain deeper insights into existing means for the acquisition and analysis of evidence
and for the detection of crimes affecting the financial interests of the EU
The EPPO will continue to enrich the offer of training courses under the EPPO Academy
and is exploring further needs and possibilities with relevant partners in the EU and beyond
The EPPO is the independent public prosecution office of the European Union
prosecuting and bringing to judgment crimes against the financial interests of the EU

tanned sunbathers relax on lounge chairs under sunny skies as blue waves lap the sand in a scene of time-honoured Italian idyll
But beneath the surface rages a longstanding battle over Italy's public beaches
and whether the shoreline's ubiquitous beach operators will continue to enjoy concessions often passed down through generations

they closed their colourful umbrellas in a two-hour protest
saying pressure from the European Union and a lack of support from the hard-right government of Giorgia Meloni is threatening a venerated cultural tradition
"The entire economy that revolves around seaside tourism is in crisis," concession holder Antonio Meneghini
Italy's beach club operators provide services from umbrellas
sunloungers and showers to bars and restaurants that beachgoers can enjoy - for an ever-increasing price
In certain areas, like Rimini on the Adriatic coast, private establishments holding concessions can swallow up 90 percent of beaches
The Union of Chambers of Commerce said this week there were 26 percent more beach operators today than in 2011
READ ALSO: What's behind the battle for Italy's beach clubs?
Inertia in the way Italy manages its beaches is longstanding
Governments of every hue - hesitant to risk the ire of the powerful operators' lobby - have repeatedly ignored EU warnings over the past two decades to open up the sector to competition and reform the way it automatically renews beach concessions
say the state has allowed private interests to profit from a public resource belonging to everyone
while paying the state a pittance in exchange
Some estimates show the state receiving 115 million euros a year for concessions from an industry worth 15 billion
Beach operators have been in legal limbo since December 31st
as ruled by Italy's top administrative court
But hopes the government will pass national legislation to clear up regulatory uncertainty faded this week
when the government shelved the issue until the end of summer
There's so much confusion," said Antonio Capacchione
president of the operators' SIB trade union
He accused the government of being incapable of managing the problem

Not everyone feels that Italy's nearly 7,250 beach operators should be given special privileges
activist Claudia Gazineo planned on Friday to storm an establishment she said was charging seven euros merely to access the sea
The Mare Libero (Free Sea) activist described illegal gates and turnstiles put up by the operators in the area
you have to do it through these bars," Gazineo told AFP
"It's absurd because the sea is for everyone."
consumer protection association Codacons accused some operators of "speculation"
petitioning port authorities to revoke concessions to establishments charging "exaggerated" prices
weekly prices to rent a sunlounger and umbrella can reach 340 euros
according to a June study by consumer group Altroconsumo
Supporters of Italy's current system argue that open competition mandated by the EU means foreign multinationals could enter the sector
raising prices and diluting the sector's "Italian-ness"
Others cite the danger of mafia infiltration
Mare Libero is calling for 50 percent of beaches to be considered "free" and accessible to everyone
a barely visible sign indicated the way to the town's free beach where Primo Massimiani
The promise of sitting on the beach rubbing shoulders with a neighbour held no appeal
He railed against the "slavery of the umbrella
an almost illegal exploitation of what is a common good - the shores and beaches."

This park commemorates the place where Italian filmmaker, writer, and intellectual Pier Paolo Pasolini was murdered on November 2, 1975, in circumstances not entirely clear. In 2005 the Municipality of Rome turned it into a Literary Park, with a stele in memory of the tragic event, surrounded by quotes from Pasolini's poetry.
The park is managed by the Italian Bird Protection League (LIPU), so it has become a spot frequently visited by Pasolini's fans and birdwatchers alike.
The park is open every day from 9 a.m. to sunset, with direct access from Via dell'Idroscalo. Easily reachable on public transportation from Rome Termini or Piramide Station.

Beauty, culture and innovation. Discover the 10 destinations not to be missed in Italy in 2023 selected by Visit Italy.
Even in 2022, Italy was among the most sought-after, loved and visited countries by tourists from all over the world. Its attractions, cities and culture are synonymous with an unforgettable trip at any time of the year. Beyond the most famous and overused destinations, new travel trends are emerging for the year that has just begun. Where will those who love Italy and want to discover new destinations go on holiday in 2023?
So, here are the 10 Italian destinations not to be missed in 2023. Discover them with us.
Ofanto River Regional Natural Park is characterised by a strong cultural and territorial identity with its important archaeological, historical and naturalistic heritage. It is a territory to be explored that hides dozens of treasures, an opportunity to immerse yourself in the green and often uncontaminated and mysterious nature of Puglia.
The Ofanto river has been an important presence in Italy since ancient Roman times and with its 170 kilometres it is the longest river to flow into the Adriatic, crossing three regions. However, it is in Puglia that it hides its best treasures, gathered in the Regional Nature Park which embraces 11 Apulian municipalities.
The Ofanto River Regional Natural Park was established in 2007 and is a protected natural area that encloses an incredible natural value. The river and its surroundings can offer numerous specimens of local poplars and oaks to the animals found here in their natural habitat for a full immersion in Italian nature.
Inside the park, you can carry out various outdoor activities both as a tourist and as a sportsman, such as long excursions on horseback, up to canoe and kayak trips along the river.
Perhaps the most interesting project, however, is the Ofanto Cycle Route, recently completed in its Apulian section. This is a cycle path that accompanies the Ofanto river on its journey and allows visitors to explore the park through themed itineraries, in a respectful exchange between man and nature, in a respectful exchange between man and nature.
South of Rome is one of the pearls of Lazio and Italy as a whole, Lido di Ostia or simply Ostia. It is a place that extends the beauty and historical and cultural grandeur of Rome to the sea, maintaining and enhancing its cultural identity. Its foundation dates back to the reign of Anco Marzio when it was transformed from a strategic military base of the kingdom of Rome into a tourist and commercial centre of the Roman Empire.
However, Ostia is famous, above all for Ostia Antica, the centre built in the 4th century BC, which together with Pompeii is the largest archaeological site in Europe. Currently just under half of the ancient city has been brought to light with the baths of Neptune and the necropolis that are the masters, together with the baths of the Sette Sapienti and the wonderful Roman theatre, which could accommodate 4000 people.
The next destination, not to be missed, we suggest is Altamura, famous all over the world for its bread. It is a city where the environment, culture and gastronomic tradition intertwine in a vortex of rare and unique beauty. A destination that offers many different types of ideas and which can change according to your preferences.
Another attraction is the Caves of Altamura where the remains of a Neanderthal man were found. The famous man of Altamura has a date of about 130-190 thousand years ago.

Cesenatico is a seaside village nestled in the heart of the Romagna Riviera. The online social campaign promoted by the village itself has led it to be one of the most sought-after destinations by Italians in recent years and even in 2023 it is a destination not to be missed.
The seaside village is waiting to be discovered with the colourful historic centre, divided in two by a row of ancient sails that colour the Leonardo Porto Canale. A village of sailors and fishermen that still retains the colours of the houses and the particular character that the village of good living can offer. Cesenatico is the ideal destination for a beach holiday on the Adriatic coast with wide beaches full of attractions for children, camping enthusiasts and water games.
Orvieto is one of the oldest and most visited cities in Italy. It has very ancient origins but is famous for its morphological and architectural beauty, for these reasons in recent years, it has been the destination of many tourists who have made it a real social media star with hundreds of posts dedicated to this small village perched on the ridge of tuff in the middle of Umbria
Despite these characteristics, the merit of Orvieto's fame is mainly due to the magnificent Cathedral homonym. It is an example of Romanesque-Gothic architecture, very rich in works of art, which houses the Sacred Corporal inside. But there are also many other attractions such as the well of San Patrizio, an incredible work of civil engineering from the sixteenth century.
In 2022 Chioggia was included by the New York Times among the must-see destinations in Italy as an alternative, or even privileged, destination compared to its bigger and more famous sister, Venice. The small lagoon city is considered the "Little Venice" and it is a beautiful reality.
