Viterbo, Italy Travel
Viterbo, Italy Travel - Viterbo is an ancient city and comune in the Lazio region of central Italy, the capital of the province of Viterbo. It is approximately 80 kilometers (60 mi) north of Rome on the Via Cassia, and it is surrounded by the Monti Cimini and Monti Volsini. The historic center of the city is surrounded by medieval walls, still intact, built during the 11th and 12th centuries. Entrance to the walled center of the city is through ancient gates.
Apart from agriculture, the main resources of Viterbos area are pottery, marble, and wood. The town also hosts the Italian gold reserves, an important Academy of Fine Arts, and the University of Tuscia, and is located in a wide thermal area, attracting many tourist from the whole central Italy.
Etruscan warrior, found near Viterbo, dated circa 500 BCE.
The first report of the new city dates to the eighth century, when it is identified as Castrum Viterbii. It was fortified in 773 by the Lombard king Desiderius in his vain attempt to conquer Rome. When the Popes switched to the Frankish support, Viterbo became part of the Papal States, but this status was to be highly contested by the Emperors in the following centuries, until in 1095 it is known it was a free comune.
In a period in which the Popes had difficulties asserting their authority over Rome, Viterbo became their favourite residence, beginning with Pope Eugene III (1145--1146) who was besieged in vain in the city walls. In 1164 Frederick Barbarossa made Viterbo the seat of his Antipope Paschal III. Three years later he gave it the title of city and used its militias against Rome. In 1172 Viterbo started its expansion, destroying the old city of Ferentum and conquering other lands: in this age it was a rich and prosperous comune, one of the most important of Central Italy, with a population of almost 60,000.
In 1207, Pope Innocent III held a council in the cathedral, but the city was later excommunicated as favourite seat of the heretical Patari and even defeated by the Romans. In 1210, however, Viterbo managed to defeat the Emperor Otto IV and was again in war against Rome.
In the thirteenth century it was ruled alternately by the tyrants of the Gatti and Di Vico families. Frederick II drew Viterbo to the Ghibelline side in 1240, but when the citizens expelled his turbulent German troops in 1243 he returned and besieged the city, but in vain. From that point Viterbo was always a loyal Guelph. Between 1257 and 1261 it was the seat of Pope Alexander IV, who also died here. His successor Urban IV was elected in Viterbo.
In 1266-1268 Clement IV chose Viterbo as the base of his ruthless fight against the Hohenstaufen: here, from the loggia of the Papal Palace, he excommunicated the army of Conradin of Swabia which was passing on the Via Cassia, with the prophetical motto of the lamb who is going to the sacrifice. Other popes elected in Viterbo were Gregory X (1271) and John XXI (1276) (who died in the Papal Palace when the ceiling of the recently-built library collapsed on him while he slept), Nicholas III and the French Martin IV. The Viterbese, who did not agree with the election of a foreigner directed by the King of Naples, Charles I of Anjou, invaded the cathedral where the conclave was held, arresting two of the cardinals. They were subsequently excommunicated, and the Popes avoided Viterbo for 86 years.
Without the Popes, the city fell into the hands of the Di Vicos. In the fourteenth century, Giovanni di Vico had created a seignory extending to Civitavecchia, Tarquinia, Bolsena, Orvieto, Todi, Narni and Amelia. His dominion was crushed by Cardinal Gil de Albornoz in 1354, sent by the Avignonese popes to recover the Papal States, who built the Castle. In 1375 the city gave its keys to Francesco Di Vico, son of the previous tyrant, but thirteen years later the people killed him and assigned the city first to Pope Urban VI, and then to Giovanni di Sciarra di Vico, Francescos cousin. But Pope Boniface IXs troops drove him away in 1396 and established a firm Papal suzerainty over the city. The last Di Vico to hold power in Viterbo was Giacomo, who was defeated in 1431.
Thenceforth Viterbo became a city of secondary importance, following the vicissitudes of the Papal States. In the 16th century it was the birthplace of Latino Latini. It becoming part of Italy in 1871. SOURCE : WIKIPEDIA

Tarquinia
Ara della regina e necropoli dei monterozzi.
La collina dei Monterozzi, lunga circa 6 km e sede della principale necropoli cittadina, si estende parallela alla costa tirrenica, tra questa e l'altura della Civita dove sorgeva la città etrusca. Le tombe coprono praticamente tutto il colle; se ne conoscono più di seimila, per la maggior parte camere scavate nella roccia e sormontate da tumuli. Sono proprio questi ultimi, oggi ormai appena visibili sul terreno perché spianati dai lavori agricoli (ma solo un secolo fa se ne contavano più di 600), che hanno dato al colle il nome popolare ed espressivo. La serie straordinaria di tombe dipinte -ne conosciamo circa 200- rappresenta il nucleo più prestigioso della necropoli che resta, per questo aspetto, la più importante del Mediterraneo, tanto da essere definita da Massimo Pallottino 'il primo capitolo della storia della pittura italiana'. L’uso di decorare con pitture i sepolcri delle famiglie aristocratiche è documentato anche in altri centri dell’Etruria, ma solo a Tarquinia il fenomeno assume dimensioni così ampie e continuate nel tempo: esso è infatti attestato dal VII al II secolo a.C., cioè per quasi tutta la durata della vita della città. Nel settore di necropoli attualmente aperto al pubblico è possibile ammirare alcuni degli ipogei dipinti più celebri, come le tombe delle Leonesse, dei Leopardi, della Caccia e Pesca etc.; la visita della cosiddetta necropoli Scataglini, un suggestivo angolo integralmente scavato, consente inoltre al visitatore di capire come dovesse in origine presentarsi la ”città dei morti”.
