Passo Corese
Passo Corese is an Italian town and hamlet (''frazione'') of Fara in Sabina, a municipality in the province of Rieti, Lazio. In 2011 it had a population of 3,573. History Early history Close to Passo Corese is the site of Cures Sabinorum, also called simply Cures. According to Roman historians, it was from here that the Sabine king Titus Tatius marched on Rome, in the seventh year of the city, 747 BC, to avenge the Rape of the Sabine Women, and then agreed to settle in Rome. In the time of Augustus, Cures was merely a village, but it developed in the succeeding centuries, becoming in the 5th and 6th centuries the seat of a diocese, five of whose bishops are known by name because of their participation in synods or because of correspondence with the popes. The Lombards destroyed Cures, probably in 589, and the population dispersed. In a letter of February 593, Pope Gregory the Great ended the existence of the diocese as a residential see, adding its territory to that of Nomentum. Cu ...

POW Camp
A prisoner-of-war camp (often abbreviated as POW camp) is a site for the containment of enemy fighters captured by a belligerent power in time of war. There are significant differences among POW camps, internment camps, and military prisons. Purpose-built prisoner-of-war camps appeared at Norman Cross in England in 1797 during the French Revolutionary Wars and HM Prison Dartmoor, constructed during the Napoleonic Wars, and they have been in use in all the main conflicts of the last 200 years. The main camps are used for marines, sailors, soldiers, and more recently, airmen of an enemy power who have been captured by a belligerent power during or immediately after an armed conflict. Civilians, such as merchant mariners and war correspondents, have also been imprisoned in some conflicts. With the adoption of the Geneva Convention on the Prisoners of War in 1929, later superseded by the Third Geneva Convention, prisoner-of-war camps have been required to be open to inspection by ...

FL1 (Lazio Regional Railways)
The FL1 (until 2012 FR1) is a regional rail route forming part of the Lazio regional railways network ( it, ferrovie regionali del Lazio), which is operated by Trenitalia, and converges on the city of Rome, Italy. The route operates over the infrastructure of the Florence–Rome railway, the Pisa–Livorno–Rome railway and the Rome–Fiumicino railway. Within the territory of the ''comune'' of Rome, it plays the role of a commuter railway. It is estimated that on average about 65,000 passengers travel on an FR1 train each day. The designation FR1 appears only in publicity material (e.g. public transport maps), in the official timetables, and on signs at some stations. The electronic destination boards at stations show only the designation "R1". Route * Orte ↔ Fiumicino Aeroporto The FL1, a cross-city route, runs from Orte, in the province of Viterbo, in a southerly direction over the Florence–Rome railway as far as Roma Tiburtina.

FL Lines
The FL lines, formerly ''Lazio regional railways'' ( it, ferrovie regionali del Lazio, also ''Ferrovie Laziali'') consist of 8 commuter rail lines operated by Trenitalia, converging on the city of Rome. Lines FL1, FL2 and FL3, particularly in areas closer to Rome, function like a rapid transit service, integrated with the Rome Metro and surface transportation. The other lines (numbered from FL4 to FL8) are served by traditional regional trains, and used almost exclusively for commuter traffic. All eight lines are considered regional trains by Trenitalia. On timetables and departure boards at the stations the trains are marked with the letter ''R'' (Regional). The numbering of the lines (FL1, FL2, ...) appears only in some informational materials and on the signs of some stations. However, in the ATAC network, the numbering appears in all network maps.

Monterotondo
Monterotondo is a town and ''comune'' in the Metropolitan City of Rome, central Italy. History According to some historians, Monterotondo is the heir of the ancient Sabine town of Eretum, although the modern settlement appeared in the 10th-11th centuries in a different location. The name derives from the medieval corruption (then ''Mons Teres'', then ''Monte Ritondo'') of the original ''Mons Eretum''. In the Middle Ages, due to its location across the Via Salaria, Monterotondo was a strategic point for the defense of Rome. Initially under the Capocci family, it was sold in the 12th century to the Orsini, who held it until the 18th century. In 1432, it was seized by the ''condottiero'' Niccolò Fortebraccio, and in 1485, it was set on fire by the Orsini. In 1634, the Barberini acquired the town, restoring or enlarging several edifices, and building the cathedral in 1639. On 28 April 1864, the Rome and Monterotondo Rail Road was opened for service. In 1943, after the Italian armis ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Fiano Romano borders the following municipalities: Capena, Civitella San Paolo, Montelibretti, Montopoli di Sabina, Nazzano. Etymology There are multiple hypothesis about the origin of the name Fiano: * According to some, the toponym could originally be derived from both the root of the Latin word ''Flavus'' (yellow, blond), with evident reference to the production of cereals grown or visible in the place; both from the reference to the possessions that the gens Flavia had in the area (from ''Flaiano'', composed of the Latin personal name ''Flavius'' and the suffix "''anus''" which indicates belonging). * In Virgil's descriptions of the people who inhabited the Faliscan Capenate territory in prehistoric times, the reference to the ''Flavini'' fields appears; while in the texts of Silio Italico reference is made to Flavina or "''of the Flavini fields'' ...
