Tuscania
From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.
Tuscania is a town and comune in the Province of Viterbo, Latium Region, Italy. It is located at 42° 25′ 17″ N 11° 52′ 19″ E (http://kvaleberg.com/extensions/mapsources/index.php?params=42_25_17_N_11_52_19_E_) with an elevation of 165 m (541 ft) and a population of 7717.
In 1348-49 a bubonic plague struck Tuscania very hard. Shortly thereafter, in 1354, Cardinal Gil Alvarez De Albornoz returned the town to the Papal States. Much of the medieval town is unchanged today. On February 6, 1971 an earthquake caused 31 deaths.
