La Turbie (in Italian "Turbia" from tropea, Latin for trophy) is a commune in the Alpes-Maritimes department in southeastern France. ==History== La Turbie was famous in Roman times for the large monument, the Trophy of Augustus, that Augustus made to celebrate his victory over the Ligurian tribes of the area. During the Middle Ages, the village (called then ''Turbia'') was mainly under the dominion of the Republic of Genoa. Dante wrote in his ''Divina Commedia'' that Turbia was the western limit of the Italian Liguria. It was alternatively part of Savoy or the Principality of Monaco, from where the population of Turbia has assimilated the dialect ''Monegasque'', even if the local Ligurian dialect has maintained some characteristics of the nearby Niçois of Nice. Actually the local dialect is nearly extinct, mainly after the 1860 inclusion of the Savoian County of Nice in France. On Sept.13, 1982, Princess Grace de Monaco was killed here in a fatal car accident. The commune formerly includes the communes of Beausoleil and Cap d'Ail, which was disestablished at the beginning of the 20th century. Only the old main town, around the remaining structure of the roman Trophy of Augustus, forms the current commune. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「La Turbie」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
