Imola, Emilia‐Romagna/Italy Forum Cornelii Probably of Etruscan origin, it was known in Roman times as the ‘Market of Cornelius’ after Cornelius Sylla, a tyrannical Roman dictator who conquered the area in 82 bc. The present name is probably derived from the Germanic Immilo which is itself linked to the Via Aemilia (see Emilia‐Romagna).
