About Alfonsine

Alfonsine is a comune in the province of Ravenna in the Italian vicinity of Emilia-Romagna. It is placed 60 kilometres east of Bologna and 15 kilometres northwest of Ravenna. It is located between the Senio River and the Adriatic Sea. Its financial system is based totally totally on agriculture, mainly wine and fruit production. There are principal theories regarding the origin of the name Alfonsine. The most widely frequent principle, primarily based on documents relationship returned to the early 16th century, is that the town is called after Alfonso Calcagnini, credited with reclaiming land from the marshes on which the town became based.

The second speculation is attributed to Antonio Polloni, who in his 1966 e-book Toponomastica Romagnola, postulates that the call derives from the Latin term "fossa", and that handiest later, through accident, it became inspired by using the call of Alfonso Calcagnini. Alfonsine turned into based in 1464 while some land north of the town of Fusignano, consisting generally of wetlands, become donated by using Borso d'Este to Teofilo Calcagnini who started out an competitive reclamation method. In 1468 Calcagnini elevated his territory via the purchase of additional land north of Fusignano from a Venetian noble.
