Romagna (Romagnol: ''Rumâgna'') is an Italian historical region that approximately corresponds to the south-eastern portion of present-day Emilia-Romagna. Traditionally, it is limited by the Apennines to the south-west, the Adriatic to the east, and the rivers Reno and Sillaro to the north and west. The region's major cities include Cesena, Faenza, Forlì, Imola, Ravenna, Rimini and City of San Marino (San Marino is a landlocked state inside the Romagna historical region). The region has been recently formally expanded with the transfer of seven comuni (Casteldelci, Maiolo, Novafeltria, Pennabilli, San Leo, Sant'Agata Feltria, Talamello) from the Marche region,〔(Marche addio: all'Emilia Romagna sette Comuni dell'Alta Valmarecchia ) Corriere della Sera, July 29, 2009 (in Italian)〕 which are a small number of comuni where Romagnolo dialect is spoken. ==Etymology== The name ''Romagna'' comes from the Latin name ''Romània'', which originally was the generic name for "land inhabited by Romans", and first appeared on Latin documents in the 5th century. It later took on the more detailed meaning of "territory subjected to Eastern Roman rule", whose citizens called themselves Romans (''Romàioi'' in Greek). Thus the term ''Romània'' came to be used to refer to the territory administered by the Exarchate of Ravenna in contrast to other parts of Northern Italy under Lombard rule, named ''Langobardia'' or ''Lombardy''. ''Romània'' later became ''Romandìola'' in Vulgar Latin, meaning "little Romània", which became ''Romagna'' in modern times.〔(Romània e Romagna ) Rione Madonna delle stuoie (in Italian)〕 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「Romagna」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
