Artena is a town and ''comune'' in the province of Rome, Italy. It is situated in the northwest of Monti Lepini, in the upper valley of the Sacco River. It is approximately southeast by rail, and direct from Rome. Economy is based on agriculture, animal husbandry and tourism. ==History== The name of the original village of the Volsci is uncertain; ''Ecetra ''or ''Fortinum'' are possible suggestions. In the Middle Ages it was a fief of various Roman baronal families, such as the Colonna, the Orsini and the Borghese. The modern village was called Monte Fortino until 1873. It owes its present name to an unproven identification of the site with the ancient Volscian Artena, destroyed in 404 BC. Another Artena, which was an Etruscan town belonging to the district of Caere, and laying between it and Veii, was destroyed in the period of the kings, and its site is unknown. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Artena」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
