Scauri - Minturno

LivingApple is situated in the most southern parth of Latina province, Scauri, in the southern Lazio, Italy, where the Via Appia crossed it by the bridge called Pons Tiretius. Scauri is situated at about 80 Km from Naples and 140 from Rome.
Its territory is bounded by Tirrenian sea, on the South-West, by the river Garigliano (which is the boundary betwenn the regions Latium and Campania) on the South, and by another valley nearby the Aurunci Mountains on the North.
The Roman ruins consist of an amphitheatre (now almost entirely demolished, but better preserved in the 18th century), a theatre in opus reticulatum, and a very fine aqueduct in opus reticulatum, the quoins of which are of various colours arranged in patterns to produce a decorative effect. There is also a statue commonly called of Sepeone (Scipio), from the Late Empire age.

The Thermae of Suio, some kilometers outside the city, are known since very ancient times, as they are cited by both Pliny the Elder and Lucanus. They are still exploited. The place were the site of a battle between France and Spain in 1503.

Close to the mouth of the river was the sacred grove of the Italic goddess Marica.
• The Baronal Castle housed famous figures such as St. Thomas Aquinas, Isabella Colonna and Giulia Gonzaga
• The church of St. Francis, built around 1320 by Roffredo III Caetani, nephew of Pope Boniface VIII
• The church of Annunziata (c. 1300), damaged by the Turks pirates in 1552, by the French-Polish troops in 1799 and by a fire in 1888. In 1930 a restoration removed all the Baroque additions and showed the presence of ancient frescoes.
• The church of St. Peter (9th-12th centuries). The façade is preceded by a staircase and a porch with 4 arcades (14th century). The interior has a nave and two aisles divided by tall columns with ogival arcs. The right aisle houses the notable Baroque Sacrament Chapel (1587), decorated with polychrome marbles. Other artpcieces include a candelabre (1264) with mosaic decoration, and the Pergagum, with antique columns and 13th century mosaics. It has a three-floor belfry.
The fraction of Scauri, on the Gulf of Gaeta, takes its name from the Roman consul Marcus Aemilius Scaurus, who had a sumptuous villa here. It has some notable ancient watchtowers, including the Torre Saracena, at the mouth of the river Garigliano, erected between 961 and 981, commemorates a victory gained by Pope John X and his allies over the Saracens in 915 (see battle of Garigliano). It is built of Roman materials from Minturnae, including several inscriptions and sculptures.
Minturno has an important historical centre. It isn’t a very big town, but it’s a typical medieval town with it’s houses close one to another and there are a lot of lanes that cross the town.
In July the “Sagra delle Regne” is celebrated in honour of the “Madonna delle Grazie.” This sagra is traditionally accompanied by much singing, dancing and folklore and participants all wear the typical pacchiana costume.
Here you can see the Commonwealth Military Cemetery where the English and American heroes of the second world war are commemorated.
