Aquino is a small town in the south-central Italian province of Frosinone, in the Lazio region. Its forerunner, the Roman town of Aquinum, is located nearby along the ancient Via Latina. Aquino/Aquinum is known as the home of the poet Juvenal. St. Thomas Aquinas (Thomas of Aquino) was born in the village of Roccasecca nearby.
Aquino's patron saint is San Costanzo, or St. Constantius, (of Aquino, not St. Constantius of Perugia).
