Italian comune
Giugliano in Campania (Italian: [dʒuʎˈʎaːno iŋ kamˈpaːnja]), known simply as Giugliano, is a city and comune (municipality) in the Metropolitan City of Naples in the region of Campania in southern Italy. It has 125,018 inhabitants, making it the most populated Italian city that is not a provincial capital.
History
In 5th-4th century BCE the territory of Giugliano was settled by the Osci, who founded, among the many cities, Atella and Liternum, both of them flourished under the dominion of Rome. The area is that known as Terra di Lavoro, which was the most fertile part of Campania felix.
Near "Lake Patria", there was the ancient city of Liternum. In 194 BC it became a Roman colony. The town is mainly famous as the residence of the elder Scipio Africanus, who withdrew from Rome and died there. His tomb and villa are described by Seneca the Younger. In 455, the town was pillaged and destroyed by Genseric and his Vandals. The surviving population migrated to the present historical center of Giugliano.
