The main itinerary

Lazio, 5 days and 4 nights

UNESCO heritage, culture and spirituality — a journey through Rome and Lazio, with alternative options for the final day.

Day 1 1980 UNESCO inscription

Rome, capital of two powers

Historic centre, Roman Forum, Pantheon, Piazza Navona

Transfer from Fiumicino in 35–50 minutes. Rome's historic centre unfolds like a living palimpsest: the Roman Forum and the Palatine, the intact Pantheon, Piazza Navona and Campo de' Fiori tell two millennia of civic and spiritual power. A World Heritage Site since 1980, among the first Italian entries on the list, inscribed together with the properties of the Holy See.

  • Themed guided visit: archaeology, Christianity, urban design, daily life
  • On foot or by private van for internal transfers
  • Indicative restaurants: Hosteria Grappolo d'Oro
The Roman Forum seen from the Palatine, with the Basilica of Maxentius and the Arch of Titus
The Roman Forum from the Palatine — historic centre of Rome, UNESCO inscription 1980.
Day 2 1999 2001 Two separate inscriptions

Water, power and wonder

Tivoli — Hadrian's Villa and Villa d'Este

From Rome, 45–60 minutes to Hadrian's Villa (UNESCO 1999), an imperial residence with the Maritime Theatre and the Canopus. The day continues at Villa d'Este (UNESCO 2001), where fountains, nymphaea and Renaissance gardens create an incomparable spectacle. Two separate inscriptions in a single day.

  • Themed tour: water, power and Renaissance gardens
  • Direct transfer Hadrian's Villa – Villa d'Este: 15–20 minutes
  • Indicative restaurants: Ristorante Sibilla, Li Somari
The Oval Fountain in the Renaissance gardens of Villa d'Este in Tivoli
Villa d'Este, Tivoli — UNESCO inscription 2001.
Day 3 2004 UNESCO inscription

The city of the dead and the wine of Lazio

Etruria — Cerveteri, Tarquinia and Cantina Cerveteri DOC

The Banditaccia necropolis at Cerveteri, with its tumuli carved into the tufa, opens a window onto a fascinating and still little-known civilisation: the 2004 UNESCO inscription also covers the painted tombs of Tarquinia. The day continues at the historic Cantina Cerveteri, one of the oldest wine cooperatives in Lazio, founded in 1953, producing Cerveteri DOC wines from the native Cesanese and Bellone grapes.

  • Extended option: Tarquinia and the painted tombs, the only intact Etruscan frescoes in the world (+50–60 min)
  • Tasting: 3–5 wines with regional pairings in a cellar carved into the tufa
  • Indicative restaurants: Namo Ristobottega, with the Tarquinia option only and lunch service to be confirmed. La Posta Vecchia: premium option on request, with a possible supplement.

Day 4 2024 Italy's 60th site

The queen of the Roman roads

Appian Way, Tenuta di Fiorano, Castelli Romani

The ancient paving stones, mausoleums and aqueducts of the Appian Way create a unique setting for a walk or an e-bike ride. Tenuta di Fiorano, in the heart of the Appian Way Park, welcomes the group for a tasting in a historic setting: founded in 1946 by Prince Alberico Boncompagni Ludovisi, it was the first estate in Italy to produce Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot as serious fine wine, decades before the Super Tuscans.

  • Easy e-bike ride or guided walk along the Appian Way
  • Stop at Castel Gandolfo or Frascati
  • Indicative restaurants: Pagnanelli in Castel Gandolfo, Cacciani or Pasqualina in Frascati

Day 5 2021 Option B, UNESCO

Silence, monasteries and inner landscapes

Subiaco or Monte Cimino and Caprarola

The final day offers the group two distinct options, both strongly experiential: a spiritual itinerary among the Benedictine monasteries of Subiaco, or an immersion in nature at the ancient beech forest of Monte Cimino.

Option A — Subiaco

  • Sacro Speco and the Monastery of Santa Scolastica
  • Meditative walk in the Aniene valley
  • A guided moment of silence and secular spiritual reading

  • Palazzo Farnese in Caprarola, optional extension
  • Trattoria del Cimino, established 1895, Caprarola

Part of the Ancient and Primeval Beech Forests of the Carpathians and Other Regions of Europe: a transnational serial inscription from 2017, extended to the Italian sites in 2021.

  • Transfers: Rome–Subiaco 1h15–1h35 · Rome–Caprarola 1h20–1h40
  • The day can be tailored with a choice between Subiaco and Monte Cimino–Caprarola. The selected option and any price adjustments will be confirmed in the quotation

The commercial case

Why buy this product

An inbound product built on commercial logic, thematic coherence and real sales potential, for buyers looking beyond the classic Rome–Florence–Naples triangle.

Lazio as a primary destination

75% of international tourists visit just 4% of Italy's territory (The European House – Ambrosetti, on ISTAT 2022 data). Lazio is a structural answer to overtourism: archaeology, volcanic landscapes, DOC wines and Benedictine monasteries away from the crowded circuits.

Strong, distinctive UNESCO sites

The Appian Way was inscribed on 27 July 2024, at the 46th session in New Delhi, as Italy's 60th site: the most recent and the most widely covered. The itinerary is built around several different UNESCO sites, with a narrative that cannot be replicated.

Experiences that genuinely sell

Experiential tourism in Italy is growing by 8.1% in 2025 (Mercury/Isnart, XXVI Report on Italian Tourism) and generates €9 billion in annual revenue (Isnart/Unioncamere, 2024). Cave cellars, walks along the Appian Way, medieval monasteries: experiences a buyer can present to the end client with confidence.

Extensions that are easy to quote

74% of international travellers say they want to visit lesser-known destinations on their next holiday (Booking.com Travel Report 2025). Umbria, Tuscany and Campania attach as independent blocks, with verified transfer times.

Suited to premium segments

Groups of 6–14 participants, high-end profile, an appetite for authenticity and depth. The tailor-made small-group segment into Italy sits firmly at the top of the market, with clients who recognise the value of a carefully crafted itinerary.

Sustainability requirements for 2026

76% of corporate buyers require documented sustainability credentials (GBTA 2024). Live My Italy already documents its supplier list with local provenance, its group-size policy, low-impact itinerary criteria and a GSTC self-assessment checklist, all available in writing on request.

About us

An operator built in the field

Live My Italy was founded in 2026 by a team of licensed guides and tour leaders with more than 15 years of combined field experience across Lazio, Tuscany, Umbria and Campania, gained working under other companies before the founding. We are not an aggregator: we know personally every road, every winery and every monastery in this catalogue.

Direct operations

Every hotel, guide, winery and monastery in this catalogue has been visited, tested and contracted in person by our team. None of them comes from a database. If something goes wrong during the trip, the buyer calls us directly: we are the operator, not a middleman.

A network of local partners

Family wineries, independent guides with over 10 years of field experience and boutique properties that cannot be booked through OTAs. Every partner is chosen because they share the same standard: authentic, unhurried, rooted in the territory.

Commercial transparency
