Encyclopedia Britannica



IMOLA (anc. Forum Cornelii)

This article appears in Volume V14, Page 340 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: I27-INV
IMOLA (anc. Forum Cornelii) , a town and episcopal see of Emilia, Italy, in the province of Bologna, from which it is 21 m. S.E. by rail, 140 ft. above sea-level. Pop. (Igor) 12,058 (town); 33,144 (commune). The
cathedral
  of S. Cassiano has been
modernized; it possesses interesting reliquaries, and contains the tomb of Petrus Chrysologus, archbishop of Ravenna (d. 451), a native of
Imola
 . S. Domenico has a fine
Gothic
  portal and S. Maria in Regola an old campanile. The town also contains some fine palaces. The communal library has some MSS., including a psalter with miniatures, that once belonged to Sir .
Thomas
  More. The citadel is square with round towers at the angles; it
dates
  from 1304, and is now used as a prison.
Imola
  has a large lunatic asylum with over 1200 inmates. Innocenzo Francucci (Innocenzo da Imola), a painter of the Bolognese school (1494-154Q), was a native of Imola, and two of his works are preserved in the Palazzo del Comune. The Madonna del Piratello, 2 M. outside the town to the N.W., is in the early Renaissance style (1488); the campanile was probably built from Bramante's plans in 1506.
The ancient Forum Cornelii, a station on the Via Aemilia, is said by Prudentius, writing in the 5th century A.D., to have been founded by Sulla; but the fact that it belonged to the Tribus Pollia shows that it already possessed Roman citizenship before the Social war. In later times we hear little of it; Martial published his third book of epigrams while he was there. In the Lombard period the name Imolas begins to appear. In 1480, after a chequered history, the town came into the possession of Girolamo Riario, lord of Forli, as the dowry of his wife Caterina
Sforza
 , and was incorporated with the States of the
Church
  by Caesar
Borgia
  in 1500.
