The Tuscia Notebooks
A journey through Tuscia on the wings of tales from the past, told to young readers, to preserve the memory and identity of every region.
Viterbo (Vetèrbe in the local Viterbese dialect), the capital of the province of the same name in northern Lazio, also known as Tuscia, is located on the lower slopes of the Cimini Mountains and extends westward into the final stretch of the Maremma plain. Its origins are ancient (it is believed that Viterbo derives from the Latin Vetus Urbs, meaning “Old City”) and it boasts the largest medieval historic centre in Europe, with some perfectly preserved neighbourhoods. This historic centre is encircled by walls and surrounded by modern districts, while to the southwest lie valuable agricultural, archaeological, and thermal areas.
The city and its inhabitants are the protagonists of countless legends that fade into the mists of time.
