Monte Battaglia

關於

Monte Battaglia is a hill located in the territory of the municipality of Casola Valsenio (Ravenna), in the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines. The toponym, attested in the Middle Ages as "Monte de Batalla" or "Montis Battagliae," has uncertain origins: according to some scholars it refers to a great battle that was fought there between the Goths and Byzantines in the 6th century, while according to others its origin dates back to the time of Lombard domination (7th-8th centuries) and the term "battaglia" would be an alteration of the Lombard "pataia," meaning "rag," or "piece of cloth that flutters".
