Latina is the capital of the province of Latina in the region Latium, in central Italy. The city has about 110,000 inhabitants and is thus the second largest city of the region. It was founded in 1932 under the name Littoria when the area surrounding it, which had been a swamp since Antiquity, was drained. The municipality borders on Aprilia, Cisterna di Latina, Nettuno, Pontinia, Sabaudia, Sermoneta and Sezze. Latina was founded on June 30, 1932, with the Fascist name of Littoria. The city was inaugurated on December 18 of the same year. Littoria was populated with immigrants coming mainly from Friuli and Veneto, who formed the so-called Venetian-Pontine community (today surviving only in some peripherical boroughs). The edifices and the monuments, mainly in neo-classical style, were designed by famous architects and artists such as Marcello Piacentini, Angiolo Mazzoni and Duilio Cambellotti. In 1934 it became a province capital and, after World War II, renamed Latina in 1946. With the arrival of other people mostly from Latium itself, the original Venetian-like dialect was increasingly substituted by a form of Romanesco dialect. The city has some pharmaceutical, chemical industry, cheese production and has a strong service sector. Latina is also an important centre for agriculture (vegetables, flowers, sugar, fruit, cheese and derivates). The former nuclear-power station is now closed. The municipal district of Latina is in the region/district of Lazio and it's in the province of Latina. the postcode is 04100 and the code number is +39 0773. Inhabitants are 108.711 and the surface is about 277 km2, with a density of population about 391 people for km2. Distance: from Rome 58 km, from Florence 288 km and from Venice 444 km.
