Located in the heart of central Italy, Lazio is extended from the central Apennines to the Tyrrhenian Sea. The region mostly hilly (about 54%), is the result of a long geological history among sea, large volcanoes and fluvial activity. Geography and environment The plains, extended from Tuscany to Campania, are mainly coastal and occupy about 20% of the territory. The mountains occupy about 26% of the territory.
