MARINO

This article appears in Volume V17, Page 721 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MAL-MAR
MARINO , a town of Italy, in the province of Rome, 15 m. S.E. of it by rail, and also accessible by electric .tramway. Pop. (1901), 7307. It is picturesquely situated on a spur of the Alban Hills, 1165 ft. above sea level, and occupies the site of the ancient Castrimoenium, a
municipium
  of no
great
  importance, though the surrounding
district
 , which now produces much wine, is full of remains of ancient villas. The origin of the name is uncertain; perhaps it is derived from the medieval Morena (itself derived from the Latin Murena, from one of the Roman owners of the
district
 ), a name originally given to the lower ground between the 9th and 11th mile of the Via
Latina
 . In the early 13th
century
  it belonged to the Frangipani family, but passed into the hands of the
Orsini
  in 1266. In 1378 a battle took place here between the partisans of Urban VI. and those of the
anti
 -
pope
  Clement VII. of Geneva (the
Orsini
  having taken the side of the latter), who were, however, defeated; and in 1399 Marino was apparently under the Papacy. In 1408 it passed to the Colonna family, to whom it still belongs. There are some remains of the medieval fortifications.
See G. Tomassetti, La Via
latina
  net medio evo (Rome, 1886), p. 96 seq.; T.
Ashby
 , in Papers of the British School at Rome, vol. iv. (1907). (T. As.)
