Ladispoli
Italy, officially the Italian Republic or Repubblica Italiana, is a Southern European country comprising of the Po River valley, the Italian Peninsula and the two largest islands in the Mediterranean Sea, Sicily and Sardinia. It is shaped like a boot and for this reason Italians commonly call it lo Stivale, the boot or, due to its prevalent peninsular geographical nature, la Penisola, the Peninsula.
Ladispoli is a town and municipality in the province of Rome, Lazio, central Italy. Ladispoli occupies the area where the ancient Alsium, the port of the Etruscan city of Cerveteri existed previously and later by a Roman colony cited by Cicero. Alsium was destroyed in the 6th century CE by, during the Gothic War, the Ostrogoths led by Totila. Later a Castle, named Palo, was built in the area and it was a fief of the Orsini and, from 1693, of the Odescalchi family. Modern Ladispoli was founded in 1888 by Ladislao Odescalchi, whom its name stems from.
A city known for its historic myths and traditions, scenic beauty, cooperative people and luxurious hotels and cottages, Ladispoli is one of the favorite holiday destinations for most of the vacation lovers.
