BERTINORO

This article appears in Volume V03, Page 813 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BEC-BER
BERTINORO , a :town and episcopal see of Emilia,
Italy
 , in the province of Forli, 8 m. S.E. direct of Forli and 51 m. N. of the station of
Forlimpopoli
 , and 800 ft. above sea-level. Pop. (19o1) town, 3753; commune, 7786. The town commands a fine view to the north over the plain of Emilia and the
lower
  course of the Po, itself lying on the foothills of the Apennines. It appears to have been first fortified by Frederick
Barbarossa
 , and its castle stood frequent sieges in the middle ages.
Polenta
 , 22 M. to the
south
  of it, was the birthplace of Francesca da Rimini. The castle is almost entirely ruined, but the
church
  of S. Donato, of the Lombard period, with
Byzantine
  capitals, is interesting; Giosue
Carducci
  has written a fine ode on the subject (La Chiesa di
Polenta
 , Bologna, 1897).
See C. Ricci, " Della Chiesa e castello di Polenta " in Atli e Memorie Vella Deputazione di Storia patria per le prooniae di Romagna, ser. iii. vol. ix. (Bologna, 1891), I seq. (T. As.)
