Italy attracts thousands of visitors each year who come to explore its beauty and marvels. From the magnificent Roman architecture to the stunning art collections in galleries, and the breathtaking scenery, Italy never fails to impress. However, one of the most popular vacation resorts for Roman aristocracy and imperial families can only be accessed by scuba divers!

Some of the sites that can be explored during a dive in the park include “Ninfeo,” “Villa dei Pisoni,” and “Villa a Protiro,” among others.
