About Rieti
Despite being north of Rome, Rieti has a lot more in common withSouthern Italythan withNorthern Italy, both by culture and by the historically poor economic standard. It is not a mountain town, but the closeness to the Apennines and the bad roads make it seem more distant and less reachable than it really is. It has an ancient and lasting relationship withRome, but has equally strong (or even stronger) ties withUmbria(mainlyTerni) andAbruzzo(mainlyL'Aquila). Until 1927, Rieti's territory wasn't even part of Lazio, being divided between Umbria and Abruzzo. Therefore, despite its current administrative placement inLazio, it has more similarities with the quietness of Umbria and Abruzzo than with the chaotic metropolis of Rome. The city centre rests on a small hilltop along the Velino River a
