alt Municipality of Frosinone


Frosinone (/ frosiÈnoÐne /, Frusenone, in the dialect of Frosinone) is an Italian town of 48,269 inhabitants, capital of the province in Lazio.
Often identified as the capital of Ciociaria, is the twelfth in the region for the common population.
It is an industrial and commercial center and an important traffic hub of southern Lazio. Which has existed since pre-Roman era, was the name of the city Volscian Frusna and Roman as Frusino. Throughout its history has undergone various damage due to looting, earthquakes (the most destructive in 1350) and war, so has little but important traces of its past, as the ruins of the amphitheater, the remains preserved in the national archaeological museum and the funerary monument of the second century in Saint Angelo.
Situated on a hill overlooking the valley of the Sacco, Frosinone is surrounded by mountains that surround the valley, namely the North and Ernici Lepini east and south, where one can see the Ausonians.
The district is crossed by streams and the River and Rio Cenic What, at the flow, both natural causes and for the uptake of its waters, is now extremely low, a time, however, was subject to frequent floods resulting in flooding. The discovery of an area of gravel in the course of archaeological excavations in the area of De Matthaeis is assumed that in antiquity there flowed another river, now deceased. In the plain of the bag there are a few sources whose waters are used for drinking and industrial use.
On the hill is still the core of the city, which has been progressively developed initially extending the surrounding hills. The area of the station has been formed since the late nineteenth century, but the greatest expansion of the city was present in the valley below during the twentieth century, falling wildly along the ridges and roads. Today we stand so, in common usage, a high and a Frosinone Frosinone low.
