History

In an belaw the grunds o the Villa Aria, close tae the ceety, are the remains o a Etruscan toun o the 5t hunderyear BC, Misa, protectit on the wast bi the muntains, on the east an sooth bi the river, which bi a chynge o course haes destroyed aboot hauf o it. The acropolis wis juist belaw the villa: here remains o temples wur foond.

The toun lay belaw the modren heich-road an wis laid oot on a rectangular plan dividit bi main streets intae aicht quairters, an these in turn intae blocks or insulae. Cemeteries wur foond on the east an north o the steid. The name o the place is unkent: it wis pairtially inhabitit later bi the Gauls, but wis no occupee'd bi the Romans.
