The origins are lost in the protohistoric period although there are testimonies that make up the foundations of Privernum at least four centuries before Rome, and the twelfth century BC. Priverno was described as a powerful Volscian center during the fourth century BC that, after long struggle, was subdued to Rome by Lucio Emilio Mamercino and Gaius Plautius Decianus that thanks to this victory were both elected Republican Roman Consuls. Currently just near Priverno there's the famous Fossanova Abbey where is buried St. Thomas of Aquino.

Ed - As always, your post-photo work is excellent. The scene is yet another outstanding portrayal of Italy's long history. While I like foreground materials, I am finding the grass to be a distraction. I wonder if framing the shot a few inches higher would allow the grass to provide depth, but not interfere with the view of the town. Just my opinion here. Thad

I agree with Thad, EDV. Your settlements on the mountains are beautiful. They made sure no one surprised them with an attack in the older days.

A wonderfully composed cityscape my friend. That sky is dramatic and adds so much to the scene as well.
