Marino (''Marinum'' or ''Castrimoenium'' in Latin, ''Marini'' in local dialect) is an Italian city and ''comune'' in Lazio (central Italy), on the Alban Hills, Italy, southeast of Rome, with a population of 37,684〔It is the third ''comune'' in Alban Hills for population, after Velletri and Albano Laziale.〕 and a territory of .〔, and the fourth ''comune'' in the Alban Hills for territory, after Velletri, Rocca di Papa and Rocca Priora.〕 It is bounded by other communes, Castel Gandolfo, Albano Laziale, Rocca di Papa, Grottaferrata, and Ciampino.〔Ciampino was a ''frazione'' of Marino up to December 1974.〕 Marino is famous for its white wine, and for its ''Grape Festival'', which has been celebrated since 1924. ==History== The territory of Marino was inhabited by Latin tribes from the 1st millennium BC. The ancient cities of ''Bovillae'' (Frattocchie), ''Mugilla'' (Santa Maria delle Mole, a ''frazione'' of the ''comune'' of Marino) and ''Ferentum'' (Marino itself) were part of the Latin League. Under the Roman Republic it was a summer resort for Roman patricians, who built luxurious villas in the area to escape the heat of Rome. In 846 AD, Bovillae - until then the largest settlement - was destroyed by the Saracens, and the population moved to the more easily defendable area of Ferentum, which was fortified under the new name of Marinum. From 1090 it was a dominium of the Counts of Tusculum, and later a fief of the Frangipane and, beginning in 1266, the Orsini. In 1272, San Bonaventura founded the first confraternity of Italy there.〔()〕 In 1347 it was besieged in vain by Cola di Rienzo. Fifty years later, it was the site of the battle between Alberico da Barbiano and the French troops supporting Antipope Clement VII. In 1419 it was bought by the Colonna, who maintained it until 1914. Marino hosted famous historical figures, from Charles VIII of France to Alfonso II d'Este and many others. Vittoria Colonna was born in Marino in 1492 and lived there for part of her life. In 1571, Marino's people welcomed Marcantonio Colonna, a protagonist of the Battle of Lepanto, with a triumph, remembered yearly by a festival. It became part of Italy in 1870. On 14 March 1880 the railway Rome-Ciampino-Marino was opened for service. On 1 April 1906 an electric tram line replaced the former. In 1954 the electric tram line was replaced by buses. On 2 February 1944, during World War II, Marino was heavily bombed by USAAF B-25 (Mitchell) aircraft from the US XII air force. 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「Marino, Lazio」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
