Talk:Viterbo

message: The papal palace is locally known as the Palazzo dei Papi (correct spelling, and "popes" in the plural). A coat of arms is a full escutcheon, and even, more properly, with its supporters: the isolated emblems are referred to as "badges" in heraldry. "Palazzi" there are indeed in town, but the word in Italian means any largish mansion (in modern speech, it has come to mean large office buildings, too), and almost any Italian town of any size has palazzi, so this isn't very useful or informative. The medieval fabric of Viterbo, on the other hand, is quite distinctive.
This article is really a sort of stub; it's not very good.... Bill 22:05, 28 September 2005 (UTC)

message: It's understood that all the links will be about Viterbo, so I've identified them by source, instead. The SYA link as given led to the main page, I fixed it to send you to the Viterbo page. The "Virtual Tour" link was a bit misleading in the opposite direction, it's now identified as being part of the official site. Bill 10:28, 29 September 2005 (UTC)

message: What I wrote about Annio and his forgeries being at the root of the boosterism about "Etruscan" Viterbo is absolutely true; if you're going to revert it, you should at least say why. Better yet, look up the question and stay away from asserting things as truth.... There are a fair number of things that "everybody knows" that are unfortunately not so!

replies: text: Does Viterbo has any Etruscan roots what so ever? The article about Annio describes some of his fantasies, such as it being founded by Osiris and what not. But did his fabrications include the very origin of the city? As it is, the history here starts "with the new city" in the 8th century AD … Hexmaster.se (talk) 12:03, 2 January 2022 (UTC)

message: This says Henry of Cornwall is Richard I's son, but he didn't have any children...Earl of Cornwall lists a Henry in that time period but it doesn't say who his father was. Adam Bishop 02:08, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Fixed. Henry of Almain was the son of Richard, 1st Earl of Cornwall, titular German King. He had gone out with his cousin, Prince Edward to join the Eighth Crusade, only to find it already over. He was returning overland through Italy with the French army and stopped in Viterbo; Guy the younger was a lieutenant of Charles I of Sicily at the time, and saw his opportunity for revenge.

message: I've done a bit of a reorganization today to bring this more in line with other city articles. I divide a "History" section from the intro, and brought the note about SYA and the Coat of Arms section into it. I got rid of "Geography" for the timebeing, since it only had the subsection "Climate". I also renamed "Airport" to "Transportation" and put the three remaining sections under a new "Culture" heading. And I added an image or two and move some of the other around slightly. This work for people?  Coat of arms could also go under Culture, so that's an option.-- Patrick, oѺ∞ 22:02, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

message: "1207, Pope Innocent III held a council in the cathedral, but the city was later excommunicated as the favourite seat of the heretical Patarines and even defeated by the Romans. In 1210, however, Viterbo managed to defeat Emperor Otto IV and was again at war against Rome."
Use of "The Romans" is confusing in this context; do they mean the Papal States? The Holy Roman Empire? Also that's a ton of events happening witnin three years to just use the term "later" as in "we just had a council in your Cathedral but later (this month? This year?) we decided to excommunicate you." 
I am guessing that "Rome" here means the Pope, and "the Romans" must mean the empire, but again, we modern readers need it explained to us better. Deliusfan (talk) 02:52, 10 May 2023 (UTC)
