Ciociaria () is the name commonly used, in modern times, for some impoverished territories southeast of Rome, without defined geographical limits. Starting from the Fascist Italy period and the creation of the province of Frosinone, the same name was arbitrarily imposed by the local Italian fascist organizations, and then misused by the local press, by promotional associations and folkloristic events as a synonym for Frosinone and all the popular traditions of its territory.
