Jubilee: The first stop of the “Walks in the protected areas of Lazio” in Itri

The first significant stop of the project “Walking in the Protected Areas of Lazio – Jubilee 2025 Edition” kicks off in Itri. This initiative is promoted by the Regional Department of Environment and Tourism, led by Elena Palazzo, and the Department of Parks, headed by Giancarlo Righini. In collaboration with Cammini d’Italia, the project focuses on slow and sustainable tourism, aiming to showcase the many hidden treasures across Lazio. Throughout 2025, it will involve seven parks, one reserve, and eight historically and culturally significant walking routes. The first event is scheduled for February 22 in the historic village of Itri, where a free guided tour and a tasting of Natura in Campo-branded products have been organized. The regional councilor Elena Palazzo, a resident and former administrator of Itri, will be present at the starting point at 10:00 AM to greet visitors. At the end of the tour, participants will have the chance to learn about Itri’s renowned gastronomic excellence: the olives from which a prized oil is extracted, famous throughout Italy and highly sought after abroad. “A perfect opportunity to immerse oneself in the culture and flavors of the region,” explains Regional Councilor Elena Palazzo. “We are investing heavily in enhancing the natural areas that make Lazio so rich. These places reveal unexplored corners, breathtaking landscapes, and promote the development of slow and sustainable tourism. I am delighted that the project is starting in the southern Pontine area, which has so much to offer in this regard. Through the ‘Walking in the Protected Areas of Lazio’ initiative, we give everyone the opportunity to experience our stunning landscapes up close while also discovering Lazio’s enogastronomic excellence, which speaks volumes about our traditions and history—just like the famous Itri olives. This is the right way to promote our localities and support regional development.” The second event is set for Sunday, February 23, 2025, in the Monti Aurunci Natural Park. The walk will start from the Pornito Refuge in Maranola and lead to the summit of Monte Redentore, offering a spectacular view of the Gulf of Gaeta and the Pontine Islands. This walk will be dedicated to exploring the Cammino di San Filippo Neri. For more details on upcoming stops and to register, visit www.camminiditalia.org
