Colleferro

Where Colleferro (Roma)
Colleferro ("Iron hill") is a small town of the province of Rome in the Lazio region of central Italy. It is a new residential zone of the metropolitan area of Rome where many different industries and sport structures are located. History From Appia and Plutarch we learn that in 82 BC a decisive battle in the Civil War against Gaius Marius the Younger, took place at Colleferro, which concluded in favor of Silla. At the end of the siege Marius committed suicide. It was at Colleferro that Italian cyclist and patriot, Enrico Toti, that on 27 March 1908, had his left leg crushed. The train was stopped at the station to be joined with the Colleferro train. Toti was lubricating the engine of the locomotive. and when the locomotives moved, Toti slipped and his left leg was trapped and crushed by the gears. The development of the town began as early as 1912 with the conversion of a long disused sugar factory (the Valsacco factory) to an explosive factory. Initially, the town developed away from where the center is today; the first few buildings (including the Church of St. Joachim) were built within the territory of the nearby town of Valmontone, near the train station that was then called "Segni-Paliano", and was renamed "Segni-Station Colleferro" after the birth of the town. The engineer Leopoldo Parodi Delfino (former senator and son of the founder of the National Bank, then Bank of Italy) and Senator Giovanni Bombrini founded the 'Bombrini Parodi Delfino explosives factory. Nearby, a new the "BPD Village" was created, and factory workers and their families from throughout Italy moved into them. Later, a cement factory opened (the "Lime & Cement Segni", subsequently acquired by Italcementi), using materials quarried from the nearby town of Segni. Colleferro continued growing throughout the '20s and '30s with still within the municipality of Valmontone. In 1935 Colleferro was incorporated as a new city. Later, Colleferro incorporated portions of the neighboring municipalities of Segni and Paliano. On 1 February 1938 there was the worst ever explosion at the Bombrini Parodi Delfino (BPD). The number of dead and wounded and the damage was so severe that the news was reported even in Times. Within about three hours with of the explosion, the king, Victor Emmanuel III, Benito Mussolini, along with government and military officials, were in Colleferro to see what happened, visiting the wounded, and planning what to do for the wounded and the town. The following year, on 18 June, Prince Umberto II of Italy visited the town to present awards for courage to those at Bombrini Parodi Delfino (BPD). During WWII, the Allies repeatedly bombarded Colleferro to destroy the explosives factory. During the attacks, citizens found shelter in a series of caves and tunnels built under the "BPD Village". On 12 September 1949, the town conferred honorary citizenship on Don Filippo Andrea Doria Pamphilj. In the early 50s, (BPD) manufactured Lauryl, the first soap powder in Italy. Paul VI celebrated Mass in the Plaza Italy, 11 September 1966, in which he stated that the church stands in defence of workers and began the speech with the words "Viva Colleferro operaia!" (Long live the workers of Colleferro). On 9 April 2003 the fifteenth Ariane 5 launch, one of the boosters had the name CITTA' DI COLLEFERRO to celebrate the 90th anniversary of the city. The boosters were manufactured at AVIO (Colleferro). On 9 October 2007 one person was killed and eight were injured in an explosion at a weapons factory belonging to Italian company Simmel Difesa.
