Tuscia is a historical region of Italy that comprised the territories under Etruscan influence and the name adopted for Etruria after the Roman conquest.[1]
From the Middle Ages the region was divided into three macro-areas: the "Roman Tuscia", corresponding to northern Lazio with the ancient Papal province of the Patrimony of St. Peter, which today is equivalent to the province of Viterbo and the northern part of the province of Rome north up to Lake Bracciano; the "ducal Tuscia", which included the territories of Lazio and Umbria subject to the Duchy of Spoleto, which was later also incorporated into the papal territories; and the "Lombard Tuscia", roughly the current Tuscany, including the territories subjected to the Lombards and constituting the Duchy of Tuscia.[2]
