The marvellous Tolfa, rightly included in the list of ‘Slow Cities’, is a small, ancient town located on the volcanic promontory of the same name in Lazio. Thanks to its genuine and authentic spirit, this ville offers a relaxed and peaceful living experience far from mass tourism. Tolfa's main virtue is the preservation of its historical and cultural heritage, with its characteristic houses, cobbled alleys and spectacular views of the surrounding countryside. In addition, the town is renowned for the ancient art of leather tanning and is part of the Città dell'Olio circuit. Every year, Tolfa organises authentic events such as ‘Tolfa Jazz’ and the ‘Festival dei Briganti’ where visitors and inhabitants can learn about and appreciate the local history, culture and traditions. Tourists can also engage in nature excursions in the ‘Marturanum’ Regional Park, where they can enjoy rich biodiversity and Etruscan archaeological sites. To make the most of your visit, we recommend sampling the local cuisine in typical restaurants, visiting craft workshops and participating in various activities organised by the community.
