History

Frae its oreegins, probably Roman, till the 1920s Predappio wis a kintra toun o modest size, situatit on the hills o Forlì. Augustus dividit Italy intae eleiven provinces an Predappio wis athin the saxt province. It is believed that the toun name derives frae the installation in thae locations o an auncient Roman faimily: the Appi. The toun wis sae named Praesidium Domains Appi an abbreviatit tae Pre.DiAppi.

Historically the toun developit aroond the medieval castle, leukin doun the valley. Alang the valley, aboot 2 km frae Predappio, the toun wis kent as Dovia (probably a corruption o the local Roman Road Duo Via).

Benito Mussolini wis born here an efter 1927, seizin the opportunity providit bi a landslide that hit Predappio an haed left mony fowk hameless, it wis decidit tae big a bigger mair prestigious tounship. The new toun wis biggit follaein the airchitectural dictates o the emergin new Fascist regime tae celebrate the birthplace o Mussolini an became, alang wi the nearbi Forlì, la Città del Duce (the Ceety o the Duce): a pilgrimage o the Fascists an mair lately neo-Fascists.
