Agro Pontino – Lazio: land of reclamation, fertile plains and nature between sea and mountains. The Agro Pontino extends in lower Lazio, between the Tyrrhenian coast and the reliefs of the Lepini, Ausoni and Aurunci mountains. A flat territory shaped by the great reclamation of the twentieth century, today rich in agricultural landscapes, rationalist cities, natural parks and traditions linked to land and water. A place that tells the transformation of the landscape and the encounter between man and nature. 🌾 A man-made landscape: Until the '30s, the Agro Pontino was a marshy and unhealthy area. The fascist reclamation transformed these lands into one of the most productive agricultural plains in Italy. Canals, orderly farms, straight streets and new urban centers characterize a geometric and surprising landscape, still legible and active. 👉 Tip: Visit Latina, the capital of the Agro Pontino, to admire the rationalist architecture and discover the history of reclamation through museums and urban routes. 🌊 Between the sea, dunes and wetlands: The territory is dotted with natural environments of great value: the Oasis of Ninfa, the Circeo National Park, the coastal lakes of Fogliano, Caprolace and Monaci, the coastal dunes and the forest of the Circeo Promontory. Wild beaches, marshy environments and rare species of flora and fauna coexist here. 👉 Tip: Walk or bike along the lakefront path of Fogliano, inside the national park: an oasis of peace among reeds, historic towers and lagoon landscapes. 🚜 Agriculture and production excellence: The Agro Pontino is one of the main agricultural centers of Lazio. A wide range of vegetables, fruits, cereals and fodder are grown, alongside quality productions such as kiwi, buffalo mozzarella, honey, wine and extra virgin olive oil. Farmers' markets and farms are widespread and can often be visited. 👉 Tip: Stop at one of the many farms in the area to buy fresh produce or take part in a guided tasting in the fields. 🏘️ Villages, founding cities and local traditions: In addition to the large cities born with the reclamation such as Latina, Sabaudia and Pontinia, the Agro Pontino is also home to historic villages such as Sermoneta and Ninfa, full of medieval charm. Markets, agricultural festivals, religious festivals and culinary traditions tell of the deep bond between people and the land. 👉 Tip: Visit the Garden of Ninfa in spring or early summer: an enchanted place where medieval ruins blend with lush and well-kept nature. 🚶 ♀️ Nature and paths in the green plain: The Agro Pontino offers flat itineraries perfect for walks, bike rides or excursions through cultivated fields, waterways and protected areas. The paths along the canals and dirt roads allow you to explore the area slowly, away from traffic and immersed in the rural landscape. 👉 Tip: Explore the stretch between Sabaudia and Lake Caprolace: an easy route that alternates between sea, lagoon and countryside, also perfect for the family. The Agro Pontino is a landscape of balance between human intervention and nature: an agricultural, historical and environmental mosaic that tells of the transformation and rebirth of a land that was once inaccessible.
