	Aurunci - Wikipedia
		Gli Aurunci, come i Latini o i Sanniti, erano una popolazione di origine indoeuropea, la cui discesa in Italia si fa generalmente ricadere intorno al 1000 a.C. Studi storico-linguistici comprendono gli Aurunci, all'interno delle popolazioni di origine indeoeuropea, nella linea umbro-osca, contrapposta a quella latina-falisca.
		Il loro territorio, a sud di quello dei Volsci, era compreso nell'area di Rocca Monfina, tra il Liri e il Volturno, i monti Aurunci e il monte Massico.
		Le stesse fonti romane citano gli Aurunci in riferimento all'attacco che i romani portarono nel VI sec.

		With these names must clearly be judged the forms Tusci and Elrusci, although these forms must not be regarded as anything but the names given to the Etruscans by the folk among whom they settled.
		The name Marisa (" goddess of the salt-marshes ") among the Aurunci appears also both on the coast of Picenum and among the Ligurians; and Stephanus of Byzantium identified the Osci with the Siculi, whom there is reason to suspect were kinsmen of the Ligures.

		In its extensive dimension it is strongly articulated but also opened to remarkable possibilities of integration and synergies from the point of view of the environmental resources system, of the historical-archaeological resources, of the historical-cultural patrimony and of the activities system tied to the local characters.
		The relation between the shapes and the environmental qualities of the habitat and historical productive vocations, that are realized in these territories, is still a little valued wealth because it is divided in many sector visions and therefore dominated by the development and use models, often imported from different truths.
		It is in a condition of node between various areas but historically tied, and this is in the meantime an advantage and a limit: an advantage in a logic of territorial synergies, a limit considering the obstacles represented from the various administrative competences.
