You'll have to forgive us, Mick, but HW and I are really really ignorant, at least one of us is.

Ok, I'll make the effort to google it... Aha! It's a port city onthe east coast of Italy. Played a role in Guelph vs. Ghibelline Wars, seems an interesting, historic town. Nick, you'd better post a long photo essay when you're back after all this help I've given you

Nick?
I'd already googled it - I hoped somebody might have been there...
MICK.

Our Italy experts seem to be attending to personal matters at the moment, but I'm sure they'll be back with some information soon!

I've been nearby but not there. I had wondered about the name myself but never investigated, here's what Wikipedia says, "the name is probably a later Roman corruption of Senones; the addition Gallica distinguishes it from Saena (Siena) in Etruria. The place is also mentioned in connection with Hasdrubal's defeat at the Metaurus in 207 BC"
