The Voyage or Journey from FANO to FVLIGNO by the VIA EMILIA

FOSSVMBRVNO.

TRavaling Westward from Fano appear many villages among the Mountains, and then taking the Via Flaminia Southward on the right-hand shore of the River Metauro, you arrive at Fossumbru∣no, a City plaeed as twere in the midst of the Plain between the Hill and the River. Its Frabricks are modern, by reason that the old were wholly cast down by the Gothes or Longobardi, In the biggest Church remain some old Inscriptions, denoting its antiquity; from which City pursuing the Journey you must pass the River Metauro by a woodden Bridge, then entring the Via Flaminia, on each side passing by pleasant and fertile Fields, you reach the River Candiano, near which lies the Hill Asdrubal, so denominated from the overthrow there given Asdrubal by the abovenamed Consnls. Whence the Via Flaminia, was paved by Augustus to Rome, half a miles length where∣of was out thorow a stony Rock with a Chizel, which is twelve paces broad, tis called Forlo, Then were certain Letters inscribed, which age hath worn out, yet their sense remains, viz. That that noble and & laborious, work was performed by Titus Vespasian, Candiano runs for three miles along the Hills, which passed, lies a Plain, and 10. miles thence is Acqualagna, where dyed Totila, King of the Gothes overcome by Narsete as aforesaid, beyond which is the City Cagli, and the Bourg Cariano, built out of the Ruines of the City Lucerla, heretofore stan∣ding where now the Bridge is, but destroyed by Narsete, when the perfidious Elenterio, arrogating to himself the Title of Emperor was discomfited▪ beyond which is the heigth of the Alps which terminate the Province of Ancona, and Senigaglia, Sigello and Galdo.

NOCERA.

LAstly upon one of the Apenines, stands Nocera, heretofore fa∣mous for the Earthen Vessels there curiously made, now for the Abundance of the Wine called Muscatello, at the foot of the Moun∣tain whereon Nocera stands, is the Valley Trinia, so named from the

River Trinia, wherof Silius speaksthus, Triniaeque inglorious humor, calling it un worthy among Rivers, for not being navigable. The way tho∣row which Valley is very dangerous, beacuse of the necessity to wade several times through the River, where sometimes the poor Travellers are bemired, by reason that in the bottom there is a most stiff mudd, whereby they are oft drowned through their Igno∣rance of certain Whirl-pools, covered with mudd, not easily to be avoided but by such as are well skilled in the passage. The said vale is 12 miles long, and in it is Foligno.
