Tarquinia: tourism, sea and holidays
The city of Tarquinia (Tarquins in Latin and Tarceva (u) na in Etruscan, resulting from the legendary Tarconte) was one of the oldest settlements [1] and the most important Etruscan dodecapoli. In connection with Rome since ancient times, gave this city the dynasty of Etruscan kings (Tarquinius Priscus, Servius Tullius and Tarquinius Superbus) who played a leading role in the earliest history of the Latin cities.
Tarquinia entered several times in war with Rome and this was finally subdued early third century BC (Perhaps 281). Since then Tarquins was part of Roman territory in the region VII Etruria. In the fifth century came under the reign of Roman-Gothic Theodoric. In the first half of the sixth century, suffered the hardships of the Gothic war and in the second half of the century it became part of the Lombard Duchy of Tuscia. In the second half of the eighth century Tuscia was first acquired domains Carolingian and later donated to the pope as part of the newly formed State of the Church. Probably as early as the sixth century there was an initial gradual depopulation of the Etruscan-Roman, who went more pronounced in the Middle Ages, and then completed in the late Middle Ages when the ancient city had been reduced to little more than a fortified castle. Between the late tenth and early eleventh century on a hill adjacent to the ancient city is the medieval center of Corneto developed on a site with archaeological traces of a settlement Villanova, an Etruscan necropolis also continued, and fortifications Etruscan and Roman. Corneto in 1144 became a free trade pact between Italian with Genoa (in 1165) and Pisa (1177). In the thirteenth century validly resisted the siege of the Emperor Frederick II. Also opposed to the aims of the Church, the city was finally reduced to obedience by Cardinal Albornoz (1355) and since then, although with interruptions, remained stable to the Papal sharing their stories. His diocese dates from the fifth century and in 1854 was united to that of Civitavecchia. In the period before World War II became the seat of the Airborne School.
