Codiponte lies in the shadow of the Alpi Apuane and in the valley of the River Aullela. It is 255 metres above sea level and has a continental climate with hot summers and cold winters including snowfalls during winter. Summer temperatures are in the high 30°s and winters around 0°C. ==History== Codiponte was once an important stopping place on the Via Francigena for pilgrims travelling to Rome. Because of its strategic position, during the failed 1521 French siege of Parma, Codiponte was sacked by Franco-Venetian forces under Federigo da Bozzolo who were endeavouring to enter Parma. Under instructions from the Duke of Urbino and Francesco Guicciardini, Italian general Marcantonio Colonna ordered the abandonment of the town and imperial defences regrouped near Parma. However, Parma was ultimately held by the Italians and the French forces withdrew. The campaign was a prelude to the Battle of Bicocca led by the Vicomte de Lautrec. Overlooking the village are ruins from the 13th-century "Castile Codiponte" and the "Convent of Clarisse of Santa Maria del Castellaro".〔 A stone bridge with three arches which was built in 1703 and repaired in 1936.〔 A Roman pago (village) is believed to have been located on the northern approach to the bridge near the church. A new bridge 500 metres downstream was built in 1970. 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「Codiponte」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
