Castelfranco Emilia is a town and ''comune'' in Italy in the province of Modena, region of Emilia-Romagna. The town lies about northwest of Bologna. Castelfranco either occupies or lies near the site of the ancient Forum Gallorum, a place on the Via Aemilia between Modena and Bologna, where in 43 BC Octavian and Hirtius defeated Mark Antony. In 1861 it was joined with the former comune of Piumazzo. This town is famous for inventing tortellini, a typical Italian food. In this region lambrusco wine is also produced. The church of ''Santa Maria Assunta ''houses a picture of the ''Assumption of Mary'' by Guido Reni. Castelfranco has also a fortress built in 1628–34 by Urban VIII as a northern defensive bastion for the Papal States. ==People== * Alfonsina Strada, the only woman ever to compete in the male Giro d'Italia (1924) * Valerio Massimo Manfredi, historian, archaeologist and journalist (1943) * Cécile Kyenge, Italian-Congolese politician and current Member of the European Parliament (1983) 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「Castelfranco Emilia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
