From the Colosseum to the Sabina hills: a taste of Lazio’s olive oil

The Colosseum Archaeological Park in Rome is not only a historical site but also a hub for olive oil, wine, and honey production. Visitors can explore olive groves and vineyards, including the Barberini vineyard, which produces Bellone wine.
