Rome and the Campagna

5R 1871 by Robert Burn, M.A. 

Notes

Rome and the Campagna refer to the city of Rome and its surrounding countryside, which stretches across the Lazio region of central Italy. The Campagna, a vast plain with rolling hills and remnants of ancient Roman infrastructure like aqueducts and roads, has long been a crucial part of Rome's history. Once fertile farmland, it became a site of neglect and marshland in the Middle Ages but was later reclaimed. The contrast between the urban grandeur of Rome and the rural beauty of the Campagna has inspired poets, artists, and travelers for centuries.
