Whether you are a passionate foodie visiting Rome in order to broaden your culinary horizon, or a first-timer in the country, eating well in the eternal city is a must. Authentic, fresh food is at the heart of Italian culture and Roman cuisine is often based on seasonal, fresh produce. As with every region, in Rome there are some dishes that are well-established classics among the locals.
Radicofani is a city in the Val d‘Orcia region of Tuscany, Italy. Positioned at the southern edge of the province of Siena, bordering with Lazio and Umbria, sits on top of the mountain of Radicofani. Already known during the Roman empire, along the Cassia Road, half way between Roma and Florence. Renowned for its pastures and meadows, Radicofani gives the best sheep’s milk to produce the “Pecorino” cheese, famous the world over.
Prized vines growing in hundreds of rows are one of the most common features of the hills in the province of Perugia, where the evolution of cultivation methods has led to the production of excellent wines. The first documents regarding wine-making date back to the Middle Ages, but the history of wine is much older, dating back as early as Etruscan and Roman times.
Ronciglione is surrounded by forests of beech, chestnut and oak. Among the most delicious crops is, the hazelnut, a typical product par excellence, as well as wine and chestnuts.
