	Civita Vecchia - LoveToKnow 1911 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		CIVITA VECCHIA, a seaport town and episcopal see of Italy, in the province of Rome, 50 m.
		N.N.E. of Civita Vecchia towards the hills, near La Farnesina, where its ruins may still be seen; the city walls and some of the streets Wand buildings may be traced, and an inscription (which must have stood over one of the city gates) recording its foundation has been discovered.
		Civita Vecchia was the chief port of the Papal State and has still a considerable trade.

	Italy - Forza Maggiore
		Further, one may say that Grossetto is on the diligence road from Civita Vecchia to Leghorn, and that in the very heart of the place there is a lovely palm-tree, rare, if not sole, in that latitude.
		But such was the desolating and depressing influence of the weather and the landscape, that we reached Civita Vecchia as undecided as we had left Rome.
		We were thoroughly humbled in spirit, and had no longer any doubt that we did ill to take the diligence at Civita Vecchia instead of the steamer ; for we had been, not nineteen hours, but four days on the road, and we had suffered as aforementioned.

	The Battle of Mentana, Nov. 3, 1867
		They delayed their attack, however, waiting for insurgents within Rome to start an uprising, which, in the event, proved abortive.
		When the French arrived at Civita Vecchia the Garibaldini pulled back to wait for other divisions of their army to arrive.
		They hoped that the Papalini and French might be drawn into conflict with the Italian army, which had crossed the frontier into the Papal territory (with the stated intent of arresting Garabaldi!), but this did not occur.

	Benjamin Hallowell Biography - Part 2
		Lord Nelson perceived that no object was as essential for the tranquillity of Naples as the recovery of Rome, in the present state of things which, with the Russians driving the French before them, would complete the deliverance of Italy.
		The Swiftsure sailed from Naples on the 7th Aug., and on her arrival off Civita Vecchia, a French officer of distinction came on board with a flag of truce; but nothing was then decided.
		Captain Hallowell however, subsequently entered into a negotiation, and had paved the way for the enemy's surrender when he was taken from his station by Captain Foley of the Goliath; that ship, together with the Swiftsure, being ordered by Lord Keith to proceed to Gibraltar.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Pope Nicholas III

		In 1252 he was dispatched on an unsuccessful mission of peace to the warring Guelphs and Ghibellines of Florence.

	Life and Letters of Robert Browning eBook
		Browning became acquainted with Stendhal, then French Consul at Civita Vecchia, and that he imbibed from the great novelist a taste for curiosities of Italian family history, which ultimately led him in the direction of the Franceschini case.
		It is certain that he profoundly admired this writer, and if he was not, at some time or other, introduced to him it was because the opportunity did not occur.
		Stendhal died in Paris in March 1842; and granting that he was at Civita Vecchia when the poet made his earlier voyage—no certainty even while he held the appointment—the ship cannot have touched there on its way to Trieste.

		He had scarcely been elected when Novatian set himself up as antipope.

		Ancona had been bombarded and was preparing to surrender; the advance of Garibaldi from the south, and Cialdini from the north, upon Rome, could not be long delayed.

	Notes From Nineveh And Travels In Mesopotamia, Assyria, And Syria
		Grognet has nearly finished the church, although the work has been much delayed for want of funds; when finished, it will be one of the most beautiful temples in the world.

	Italy - Leaving Venice
		WE did not know, when we started from home in Venice, on the 8th of November, 1864, that we had taken the longest road to Rome.
		We thought that of all the proverbial paths to the Eternal City that leading to Padua, and thence through Ferrara and Bologna to Florence, and so down the sea-shore from Leghorn to Civita Vecchia, was the best, the briefest, and the cheapest.
		Who could have dreamed that this path, so wisely and carefully chosen, would lead us to Genoa, conduct us on shipboard, toss us four dizzy days and nights, and set us down, void, battered, and bewildered, in Naples ?

		I gave her her grant, and the same day she was married and went away with her husband to Civita Vecchia.
