Sabaudia hotels - About Sabaudia
Sabaudia is a coastal town in the province of Latina, Lazio, Italy.
It is one of several towns built on reclaimed marshland near Rome. This marsh was drained under orders from Mussolini, and these towns were built so that the fascist regime could demonstrate the draining of the marshland.
Work commenced on the town's construction on 5 August 1933 and was completed 253 days later. The city itself is based a Roman grid road layout and rationalist architecture.
An hour and a half to the west lies Sabaudia, a coastal town built by Mussolini during his massive project to reclaim the Pontine Marshes. Vast tracts of malaria-infested swamp were drained by workers transported from poor areas of northern Italy, leaving the coastal area south of Rome with rich farmland and a few newly created beach towns.
Sabaudia is home to some of Italy’s most memorable fascist architecture, built in a flash at the height of Mussolini’s power.
