Enna, Italy (Eighteen Hundred and Eleven, a Poem)

Enna is a city located in Sicily, Italy. It resides on a steep plateau over the Italian countryside, making it the provincial capital with the highest elevation in Italy. Enna was originally Greek land when it was ruled by Dionysuis I during 397 B.C. Greek influence can still be seen in the city's historical ruins, which include a temple that was once a place of worship for Demeter. However, it came under Roman influence during the year 258 B.C. Nowadays, it is a popular tourist destination known for its food, as its economy is primarily agricultural. Enna is referenced in lines 267-270 of "Eighteen Hundred and Eleven, a Poem".

"And stinted suns, and rivers bound with frost,

Than Enna's plains or Baia's viny coast;

Venice the Adriatic weds in vain,

And Death sits brooding o'er Campania's plain;"
