The Ciociaria Area

Ciociaria is a region in southern Lazio with no specific borders: it includes the ancient district of Frosinone up to the Scalambra Mountain and the Aniene river watershed; it extends to the East as far as the Ernici-Simbruini Mountains, to the South up to the ancient district of Sora, while the ridge of the Lepini mountains is supposed to mark the southwestern border of Ciociaria.

The term “Ciociaria” comes from “Ciocie”, a type of footwear made up by a double sole with raised tip that is kept close to the foot by leather laces turned 13 times round the leg and covered by a strip of white cloth. Ciociaria is also a synonym of genuineness and good food.
