History
History
The name Introdacqua draws from inter aquas, a Latin expression for "inside the waters", due to the water abundance in the territory. The Lombards founded Introdacqua in the 9th century and the city grew over time. The 14th century was consequential for the town, when the Medici family controlled the region and construction flourished. During medieval times, the city also fell under the Trasmondi family. By the 19th century, wool and silk were central to local business. The city experienced earthquakes in 1654, 1703, 1704, 1706, and 1915. According to Rizalie Valera, "Today, the town is a charming blend of old and new, with ancient buildings and narrow streets coexisting alongside modern shops and cafes."
