Litorale Romano
By ‘Roman coast’ we mean the stretch of coast that goes from Civitavecchia to Nettuno. In consideration of the geographical nature of the area, fish products are of great interest, including the cockle (Slow Food Presidium), whose fishing involves the coastal stretch that goes from Passo Scuro to Anzio.

Carciofo Romanesco
The Roman artichoke has an ashy green colour, is spherical, compact with a characteristic hole at the apex. The artichoke was well known since antiquity for its high organoleptic and therapeutic features, of which Galeno, Strabone, Plinio and Varrone write about. According to Columella, a Roman agronomist of the first century AC, the land destined to the artichoke plants used to be covered with ashes; from here, the scientific name of “Cynara scolymus”.
