	Bolsena - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bolsena is a town and comune of Italy, in the province of Viterbo in northern Lazio, 43°39N 11°59E, at 350 meters (1148 ft) above sea-level on the eastern shore of Lake Bolsena.
		While it is fairly certain that the city is the successor to the ancient Roman town of Volsinii Novi, scholarly opinion is sharply divided as to whether Bolsena is the same as the ancient Etruscan city of Velzna, the other candidate being Orvieto, 20 km (12 mi) NE.
		Bolsena is best known for a miracle said to have occurred there in 1263, when a Bohemian priest, in doubt about the doctrine of Transubstantiation, reported bleeding from the host he had consecrated at Mass.
