The place

Rome & Lazio

Domes, umbrella pines and warm ochre walls — the city, and around it villas, lakes and hill towns.

October is one of the easiest months to marry here.

The light

How the light falls there

Rome’s colours — ochre, terracotta, travertine — glow in the last hour of the day, and several viewpoints look west over the domes at sunset. In the famous squares the crowds come early: photographers who want them empty start at sunrise.
