Gateway to the Ciociaria
Frosinone, on a hill above the Sacco valley between Rome and Naples, is the capital of the Ciociaria, a land of Cyclopean walls, Cistercian abbeys and medieval hill towns, still little known to foreign travellers.
What to see
The upper town has the cathedral with its Romanesque bell tower, the Palazzo della Provincia and the archaeological museum, with views over the valley and the Ernici mountains. Frosinone is above all a base for the treasures of the province, spread within half an hour.
Food
Fini fini egg pasta, abbuoti, lamb and sheep's cheeses, the Cesanese del Piglio red wine and the amaretti of Guarcino.
