LIRI

This article appears in Volume V16, Page 770 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: LEO-LOB
LIRI , or GARIGLIANo (anc. Liris), a river of central
Italy
 , which rises at Cappadocia, 7 m. W. of Avezzano, and traverses a beautiful valley between lofty mountains, running S.S.E. as far as Arce. This valley is followed by the railway from Avezzano to Roccasecca. At Isola del Liri are two fine waterfalls. Below Ceprano, the
ancient
 
Fregellae
 , after it has issued from the mountains, the Liri is joined by the Sacco (anc. Trerus) formed by the
union
  of several torrents between Palestrina and Segni, and the Melfa from the mountains N.E. of Atina, and runs E. through a broader valley. It then turns S. again through the mountains S.W. of the Via
Latina
  (the line of which is followed by the
modern
  railway to Naples), keeping W. of Rocca Monfina, and falls into the sea just below
Minturnae
 , after a course of 104 m. It is not navigable at any point.
