Latina is the capital of the province of Latina in the Lazio region, in central Italy. As of 2011, the city has 115,895 inhabitants and is thus the second-largest city of the region, after the national capital Rome. It was founded in 1932 under the fascist administration, as Littoria, when the area surrounding it, which had been a swamp since antiquity, was drained.
Latina was founded by Benito Mussolini on 30 June 1932 as Littoria, named for the fascio littorio. The city was inaugurated on 18 December of the same year. Littoria was populated with settlers coming mainly from Friuli and Veneto, who formed the so-called Venetian-Pontine community (today surviving only in some peripheral boroughs). The edifices and the monuments, mainly in rationalist style, were designed by famous architects and artists such as Marcello Piacentini, Angiolo Mazzoni and Duilio Cambellotti. In 1934 it became a provincial capital and, after World War II, renamed Latina in 1946. With the arrival of other people mostly from Lazio itself, the original Venetian-like dialect was increasingly substituted by a form of Romanesco dialect.
The city coat of arms is a blue shield with a stylized drawing of the City Hall Clock Tower in the middle, standing on a field of green, and flanked by two stalks of wheat tied at the base with a red ribbon engraved with the motto LATINA OLIM PALUS (Latina, once a swamp) in Latin. The shield is surmounted by a mural crown. The arms combine the three colors of the Flag of Italy (red, white, and green) with the black of the Fascism and the Azzurro Savoia (the blue of the House of Savoy).
The city has some pharmaceutical, chemical industry, cheese production and has a strong service sector. Latina is also an important centre for agriculture (vegetables, flowers, sugar, fruit, cheese and derivates). The former Latina nuclear power plant has been shut down and is currently undergoing decommissioning. The frazioni of Latina are: Latina Lido, Latina Scalo, Borgo Bainsizza, Borgo Carso, Borgo Faiti, Borgo Grappa, Borgo Isonzo, Borgo Montello, Borgo Piave, Borgo Podgora, Borgo Sabotino, Borgo Santa Maria, Borgo San Michele, Chiesuola, and Tor Tre Ponti.

Questo video ottenuto da immagini statiche a 360° riprese in stereo 3D è un primissimo test che permette una rivoluzionaria visione a 360 gradi in 3D senza l'uso di fastidiosi occhiali ma avendo due punti di vista dai rispettivi occhi sinistro e destro, lavoro non facile per la gestione della doppia ripresa. l'elaborazione delle singole immagini , la rielaborazione in video e alla fine la sua pubblicazione, ma come diceva un vecchio saggio quando le cose le sai fare diventano facili...
Il luogo di ripresa è il Museo Maga di Gallarate nella sezione dove sono esposti gli arazzi di Ottavio Missoni, splendido ambiente che si prestava particolarmente per questo test visto che gli arazzi posizionati a diverse distanze hanno dato volume e profondità all'ambiente.
Preciso che la visione in 3D si ottiene con l'uso di device tipo Oculus o Cardboard.
