Isola del Liri is an Italian town in Lazio, Frosinone. Famous for its twinning with New Orleans and its LIRI BLUES FESTIVAL.
[edit] History
Isola was once in the old Terra di Lavoro region of Campania, but was transferred into Lazio during the Fascist period.
[edit] Geography
- As its name implies, Isola is situated between two arms of the Liri. The many waterfalls of this river and of the Fibreno are used by factories.
- About a mile to the north of the town is the church of San Domenico, erected in the 12th century, which is said to mark the site of the villa of Cicero.
