History
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 provincial 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.
