GUALDO TADINO (anc. Tadinum, z m. to the W.)

This article appears in Volume V12, Page 647 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: GRA-GUI
GUALDO TADINO (anc. Tadinum, z m. to the W.) , a town and episcopal see of
Umbria
 ,
Italy
 , 1755 ft. above sea-level, in the province of Perugia, 22 m. N. of Foligno by
rail
 . Pop. (19o1), town, 4440; commune, 10,756. The suffix Tadino distinguishes it from Gualdo in the province of
Macerata
 , and Gualdo Cattaneo, S.W. of Foligno. The
cathedral
  has a good rose-window and possesses, like several of the other churches, 15th-
century
  paintings by Umbrian artists, especially works by Niccolo Alunno. The town is still surrounded by walls. The ancient Tadinum lay z m. to the W. of the
modern
  town. It is mentioned in the Eugubine tablets (see
IGUvIUM
 ) as a hostile city against which imprecations are directed. In its neighbourhood Narses defeated and slew
Totila
  in 552. No ruins are now visible, though they seem to have been extant in the 17th
century
 . The new town seems to have been founded in 1237. It was at first independent, but passed under Perugia in 1292, and later became dependent on the duchy of Spoleto.
