Frusinate, or del Frusinate, is a historical region in Italy, corresponding to the modern province of Frosinone in Lazio. It is best known as the homeland of the ancient Volsci people, who were among the oldest Italic tribes.
Frusinate's history dates back to at least the 8th century BC, when it was part of the territory controlled by the Volsci. The Romans eventually conquered the region, and it became part of the Roman state. Despite this, the Volsci maintained a distinct cultural identity, and Frusinate was known for its rich artistic and cultural traditions.
In later centuries, Frusinate was divided among various feudal lords, before eventually becoming part of the Papal States. It was incorporated into the Kingdom of Italy in the 19th century, and is now part of the Lazio region. The city of Frosinone, the provincial capital, is located in the former territory of Frusinate.
Despite the long history of conquest and division, the region has preserved much of its cultural heritage. It is known for its picturesque landscapes, historical buildings, and traditional cuisine. The people of the region are also known for their hospitality and their love for their local traditions and customs.
Frusinate refers to a specific variety of wine produced in the region, derived from a grape known as 'Frusinate'. The wine is typically red and has a strong flavor profile. It is often used in traditional Italian cooking and is popular among wine enthusiasts.
