*** Shopping-Tip: Marzabotto
'''Marzabotto''' is a small town in
Italy Italian region
Emilia-Romagna,
province of Bologna. It is located 27 km (17 miles) S.S.W. of
Bologna by rail, and lies in the valley of the
Reno, 135 metres (443 feet) above
sea-level.
In the
Autumn Fall of
1944, it was the site of the
Marzabotto massacre.
In and below the grounds of the
Villa Aria, close to it, are the remains of an
Etruscan civilization Etruscan town of the
5th century BC, protected on the west by the mountains, on the east and south by the river, which by a change of course has destroyed about half of it. The
acropolis was just below the
villa: here remains of
temples were found.
The town lay below the modern high-road and was laid out on a rectangular plan divided by main streets into eight quarters, and these in turn into blocks or insulae.
Cemetery Cemeteries were found on the east and north of the site. The name of the place is unknown: it was partially inhabited later by the
Gauls, but was not occupied by the
Ancient Rome Romans.
