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 facist 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.
