Acquapendente is a city in the province of Viterbo, in Lazio (Italy). Acquapendente is an important centre for agricultural production of legumes and wine, and has a tradition in pottery craftmanship. The area of modern Acquapendente was settled by Etruscans and Roman times, as findings have showed. However, the first historical document of the modern city date from the 9th century AD, with a burg named Farisa or Arisa along the Via Francigena. In 964 a document of Emperor Otto I contains for the first time the name Acquapendentem. The name of the city, meaning "Pending Water", stems from the presence of several small waterfalls forming the Paglia, a stream setting the boundary between Lazio and Tuscany. The Diocese of Acquapendente was under the ecclesiastical jurisdiction of Orvieto until 1649, after the War of Castro. Acquapendente was also the birthplace of the anatomist Hieronymus Fabricius.
