Faenza
Faenza was a city on the Lamone in Romagna. Around 1337 Riccardo Manfredi ruled it as lord, although the family's rule had been interrupted by papal government.
In 1501 Cesare Borgia drove out Astorre III; after a brief restoration in 1503, Faenza passed to the Papal States. Its glazed maiolica was exported so widely that faience took its name from the city. Napoleonic armies ended papal rule in 1797, and the Congress of Vienna restored it in 1815.
