Cagli

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cagli is a town in Italy in the province of Pesaro e Urbino, region of Marche. It lies 18 miles south of Urbino and covers an area of 226 square km. As of 2005 there were 9,002 inhabitants.

Wikisource has an original article from the 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica about:

Cagli occupies the site of an ancient village on the Via Flaminia, which seems to have borne the name Cale, 24 miles north of Helvillum (now Sigillo) and 18 miles southwest of Forum Sempronii (now Fossombrone). About 5 miles to the northwest of Cagli and 2.5 miles west of the Via Flaminia at the mod. Acqualagna is the site of an ancient town; the place is now called piano di Valeria, and is scattered with ruins. Inscriptions show that this was a Roman municipium, perhaps Pitinum Mergens.
