Mussolente
Mussolente is a town in the province of Vicenza, Veneto, northern Italy. It is north of SS248 state road. History Mussolente consists of two distinct zones: a hilly area in the northern part and flatlands with an abundance of water in the southern part. For centuries, the hilly area to the north was dominant in the town's development. In the 2nd millennium BC it had been occupied by groups of shepherds and wool spinners. There is archeological evidence from the 6th and 5th centuries BC that a settled community of Venetic people had been established there. Beginning in the 3rd century BC, the area gradually came under Roman domination.

The period of Roman colonization coincided with increasing settlement and agricultural use of the flat ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
