As Zucchero sings “Summer evenings“,“The Summer is ending and a year is passing”, answer the Righeiras in the 80s. To avoid the nostalgia of the end of Summer and the countdown to Christmas, let’s enjoy the emotional Summer evenings along the Tyrrhenian coast of Lazio and “wow!”, the last, unforgettable sunsets at the end of Summer.
Castle of Santa Severa
One of the most amazing sites is the Castle of Santa Severa! It is in the ranking of the “World’s Greatest Places 2019″, the 100 experiences in the world you can enjoy according to the weekly calendar. Music, theatre, exhibitions and shows continuously change the look of this medieval village, built in the ancient Etruscan settlement of Pyrgi and passionately kissed by the seaand the sunset. Judge for yourself. We are in Santa Marinella where the early twentieth century Art Nouveau buildings are nestled between the sandy and rocky coves. Walking along the coast makes us really feel like we are in the “Pearl of the Tyrrhenian Sea“, as many call this tourist destination so loved by surfers.

“Another sail goes, until it disappears, how many secrets that belong to the sea“
This is how Renato Zero talks about the grand bleu and reminds us of another place to go surfing, Ladispoli.
Marina di San Nicola
The Odescalchi Castle in Palo Laziale and the Torre Flavia are the two undisputed symbols of Ladispoli. Like the waves of the Tyrrhenian Sea, the deeds of the Etruscans and Romans washed over the coast leaving traces that are still visible. From the Roman villa and the cave in Marina di Palo, up to the necropolis in Monteroni with the remains of ancient Alsium, one of the ports of the Etruscan city of Cerveteri together with Pyrgi in Santa Marinella. And then there is Pompeo’s villa in Marina di San Nicola, one of the most popular holiday destinations to enjoy a fiery sunset on the beach!
Port of Fiumicino
What’s more romantic than a sunset at the port? Let’s take a trip to the port of Fiumicino. The sleepy sea plays among the docks, warmed by the last rays that play with the shadow that has rested on the beaches and pine forests next to the port of Claudius since 42 AD.
Ostia Beach
“Quanto sei bella Roma quand’e’ er tramonto”
So Antonello Venditti sang what everyone, absolutely everyone, thinks. Let’s go and experience these sensations on the Ostia beach. We leave our footprints on the sand and all worries will vanish in theand ist time for… spaghetti with tellines!
Spaghetti con le telline
After all this romance we can taste the typical local “du spaghi”,reminding of the sound of the waves crashing on the sand while the sunset caresses the rocks.
Torre Astura
A romantic experience is walking, hand in hand by the Torre Astura, he castle on the sea that laps Nettuno. It was built on the remains of ancient Rome, where for more than a thousand years, every evening, the curtain opens on the setting, the fiery sun.
“you call them if you want emotions”
There are those who take the last dives from the rocks and those who prefer an aperitif in a pareo overlooking the sea but, there is no doubt, you don’t have to go far from Rome to spend a weekend at the end of the Summer and enjoy that feeling of “Summer on me”, as Jovanotti sings, waiting for the Roman Ottobrate.
