Sabatini (var. Sabatino) is a geologic region in the province of Lazio, Italy, a remnant of intense volcanism which started ca. 600,000 years ago, mainly with pyroclastic and maar forming eruptions which continued until 100,000 years ago. It includes the Lake Bracciano, the largest structure of the Sabatini complex, and which is a volcanotectonic depression formed about 3.7 Ma. Other components of the Sabatini complex are the Monte Rocca Romana (a postcaldera stratocone, Monti della Tolfa, Monte Soratte, and more southwards, by the Monti Cornicolani. The sedimentary base of the Sabatini complex lies buried under 200 m of volcanic ash and rocks.
